The Myco-Alarm is an item which becomes available in a pack of 5 via the 
MycoAlarm research project.
When dropped in a room's shelf, it will display a Public "BRIIIIING!" alert in the room log if a 
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 supposedly detects the special actions of 
Fungal Kitchen, 
Trapper, 
Radio Pirate, 
Nightmarish, 
Bacteriophiliac and 
Transfer, as well as Infectious Caress (on 
Schrödinger) and the act of mutating into a 
Berzerker, on top of regular spiking.
There have been reports that it also triggers upon 
Spore transfer from doing it, and spore extraction.
TODO: Confirm all these. Any muh action that is confirmed not to be detected?
