Dirty is one of the primary dangers of early Mush games, as the agents of Mush are guaranteed to become Dirty while performing their shroomy deeds. This naturally puts suspicion on anybody caught with less-than-perfect hygiene.

Certain crew members are even expected to never be dirty due to the clean nature of their roles.
