                                         Cashews        Mushrooms             Cashews          Mushrooms 

Only gather cashews:      12 pounds          0 pounds                 5 pounds            0 pounds 

Only gather mushrooms:    0 pounds          6 pounds                 0 pounds            5 pounds
