Survey of Modern Poetry doesn't give any special message when equipped (after using an orange juice sample the previous day). I also got the Tome of Binding message again with the following loadout:

Yesterday, I got the Shard of Language skill which gave a different message:

You recognize the characters from that strange tablet and watch as they respond to the sounds, dancing with inhuman patterns. There must be some underlying meaning to the pattern, but it eludes you.

Today, I acquired Secrets of the Cube, and got the same message as above.

Thought I'd try killing this thing with fire, since there's a lot of stuff related to fire between the parts and the techniques. Nothing particularly exciting, though.

Still no luck, alas. I also went and gave a hound to Dr. Johnson, just in case that had anything to do with it. Also, realized that I also have 5 instances of Hunting Command learned, and added those into my active deck as well.

Oh, I had a wolfskin belt equipped at the time too, in case howling at it did anything. Maybe that affected it? Could be bugged.

I think Mag is right here, you need to have eaten one this run, and then further mushrooms get a bonus first use per day. Elsewhere was the theory that you need to have harvested at least one this run, but I don't think that's actually needed (thought that's complete conjecture on my part).

I learned an instance of Call the Firebird, but I'm still not getting the tome message. Was hoping it had to do with knowing a certain number of different summoning techniques, but apparently not.

My current deck has Burrowing Horror x 4, Release the Hounds x 4 (I have 43 total instances), Unleash Spider x 3, Call the Firebird, and Aid From Above x 5. I do also know several instances of Pyrophobia, but don't have it in my active deck, and it sounds like GoldS didn't, either.

Was the previous time where you failed to get the message the first time you'd eaten twin mushrooms this incarnation? It'd make sense that you can't forget how delicious they are if you've never eaten them before.

First use today (I was at 40/40 hunger) - no special message.

You eat the twin mushroom, hoping it isn't poisonous. Wow, even if it is poisonous, probably worth it. This stuff is delicious!

Mmmmmmm. Reminds you of wandering through sunless caverns.

You've regained 5 energy!

You've gained 5 duration of Fae Blessing.

EDIT: But then the following day, ate one for 10 energy with "Wow, you almost forgot how delicious these are.". Then ate a second one for 7 energy without the additional message.

Fae sight "forgot how delicious" data points: 10, 12, 11, 10, 11, 12, 12, 10 (also 11 from previous in this thread)

Normal "forgot how delicious" data points: 8
