How to Craft Warped Fungus on a Stick in Minecraft

Repairing Warped Fungus on a Stick
A used Warped Fungus on a Stick still has value: put two together on an anvil and their remaining durability adds up, enchantments included.
Two worn ones can also be merged on a grindstone. That is the cheaper route and it asks no levels, but it strips every enchantment off, so it suits a plain Warped Fungus on a Stick rather than one you have invested in.
