Game file damaged?

 Spoiler

Uh yeah, is the only way to fix this to reinstall?

EDIT: It's not just that specific Mushroom Doll;

EDIT2: I can pick up any other item fine.

I had the same problem...I have no idea what caused it. But I did have to get new files. If those mushrooms were trade-able, you would D/C up on seeing them.
