Mushroomancer refers to several unrelated things: a mushroom-themed Windows action-adventure prototype by Simon Blum, a skill in Monster Hunter, Alec Siani’s tabletop tactical deck-builder, and a separate short roguelike by Michalkap. If you mean the Monster Hunter skill, its effects depend on the game and skill level; it lets hunters use certain mushrooms for item-like benefits.

What does the Mushroomancer skill do in Monster Hunter?
The skill expands which mushrooms a hunter can consume for beneficial effects. It is level-based: higher levels make additional mushroom types usable. One community description puts the idea this way: “Lets you digest mushrooms that would otherwise be inedible and gain their advantageous effects.” Monster Hunter Wiki

What is Simon Blum’s Mushroomancer?

The project description says players collect magical mushrooms and use their powers for puzzles, combat, and potions. Blum describes it as a bachelor’s project made over a year and credits Oskar Kirchner and Thilo Nieswandt for additional music and sounds. Those details come from the creator’s page; they are not a separate review or verification of the download. Project page and download details

Is Michalkap’s Mushroomancer the same game?
No connection between Michalkap’s roguelike and the other projects is established by the available project descriptions.
