The Myco-Alarm is an item which becomes available in a pack of 5 via the Research project MycoAlarm research project.

When dropped in a room's shelf, it will display a Public "BRIIIIING!" alert in the room log if a Icon Mush performs certain Mush actions. It will work if hidden, but will have no effect if held in a character's inventory.

As of Episode IV, the Myco-Alarm detects the following actions: Infect, Icon Fungal Kitchen, Icon Trapper, Icon Radio Pirate, Icon Nightmarish, Icon Bacteriophiliac and Icon Transfer, as well as Infectious Cuddles (on Icon Schrödinger) and the act of mutating into a Icon Berzerker. It does NOT go off if you Extract a spore or contaminate your target via doing the thing.

A Myco-Alarm detects an infection alongside a Icon Demoralize attack.

Usage

The main use of the Myco-Alarm is to protect commonly used rooms that did not have a camera installed, such as the Lab, Medlab, Nexus, Icarus Bay and Patroller bays, discouraging Mush from spreading their spores there. In addition, hiding surplus Myco-Alarms in different places and moving them around (usually a job for Icon Chun and/or Icon Eleesha) is a great way to make the Mush scared to use their skills, or catch them outright.

The Research project Pheromodem research reduces the necessity for Myco-Alarms, as the Icon Mush communication channel will immediately display any sporing that occurs, and the obscured names might be guessed by the time it happened.
