Character Relationships in Shrooms

Tara (played by Lindsey Haun) is a protagonist in Shrooms. Tara is an American student who accidentally eats a death bell mushroom while camping in Ireland. The poison gives her visions of future violence, and she later realizes that she has murdered her friends. After killing the paramedic while still hallucinating, she escapes alone into the woods. Jake (played by Jack Huston) is a protagonist in Shrooms. Jake is a local resident and friend who hosts Tara and the other students during their camping trip. He tells the group the story of a violent monk, helps direct Tara toward the abandoned home, survives a fall that breaks his leg, and is later murdered while fleeing with Tara. Troy (played by Max Kasch) appears in Shrooms. Troy is one of Tara's college friends. After finding Tara beside the river with Jake, he follows the plan to investigate the abandoned children's home and seek help. He is apparently killed there by the rogue monk, becoming another subject of Tara's disturbing premonitions. Lisa (played by Maya Hazen) appears in Shrooms. Lisa is one of Tara's friends on the camping trip. After drinking the mushroom tea, she becomes separated from the group in the woods while under its effects. She and Holly are later violently killed following an encounter with local woodsmen, matching Tara's continuing visions. Holly (played by Alice Greczyn) appears in Shrooms. Holly is one of Tara's friends and travels with the group to the Irish woods. After consuming the mushroom tea, she argues with the other women and becomes lost with Lisa. She is later violently murdered after an encounter with local woodsmen, as Tara had foreseen. Bluto (played by Robert Hoffman) appears in Shrooms. Bluto is an aggressive jock within Tara's college group. Following a hostile argument with his girlfriend and the others, he drinks the hallucinogenic tea before the rest of the group does. His resulting trip ends with his apparent murder by the rogue monk from the abandoned children's home. Ernie (played by Don Wycherley) appears in Shrooms. Ernie is a local woodsman encountered by Holly and Lisa after the students become separated in the forest. The encounter occurs shortly before the two women are violently murdered, linking Ernie to one of the film's threatening woodland episodes, although the summary gives no further characterization. Bernie (played by Sean McGinley) appears in Shrooms. Bernie is a local woodsman who encounters Holly and Lisa after the mushroom tea causes the group to lose its way. Their encounter is followed by the women's violent deaths, placing Bernie within that dangerous sequence, though the summary provides no additional personal background.
