About Silver
The Silver mutation multiplies a crop's base sell value in Sheckles by 5. It can be applied with the Silver Fertilizer gear, which works on crops but not on produce, and by the Cockatrice or Silver Dragonfly pet.
Silver — In-Depth Analysis
Silver comes with a fertilizer of its own. The Silver Fertilizer gear applies it, with a restriction the wiki spells out: it works on crops, not on produce. Two pets can also apply it, the Cockatrice and the Silver Dragonfly.
A x5 result, 156th of 192, puts Silver in the same bracket as Drenched, Geode, Heavenly and Clay. The Cockatrice is the more interesting of the two pets, because the wiki also gives it Toxic, a x15 mutation: one animal can leave either a x5 or a x15 result. Silver is also written in the wiki as 5x rather than x5, but it is the same multiplier. Among the x5 mutations in the wiki list, Silver is the only one applied by a fertilizer; the rest rely on weather, sprinklers, sprays, pets or recipes.
