The Testimony of Mushroom is an account by the court jester Mushroom, about the years he spend at court.[1] Mushroom's testimony was written down by an unknown writer. The account is filled with Mushroom's tales of plots, murders, trysts, debaucheries, amongst other things. The stories are in the most explicit detail.[2]

History

As Mushroom was the court jester, people believed him to be a lackwit. This caused the highborns to speak freely around Mushroom. Septon Eustace has written an account, The Reign of King Viserys, First of His Name, and the Dance of the Dragons That Came After, covering many of the same events that are described in Mushroom's account, and while often the two disagree on how events occured, at times they do agree.[2]
