Good to Know
- Two genuinely different variants exist at every weight — the Regular version is freshly dug, hand-foraged, chocolate-like and slightly damp; the Rainstorm Harvest / "Extra Damp" version was gathered during wet weather and arrives noticeably wetter, clumpier and more intensely muddy. Both are captured in the variant options above rather than flattened into one.
