What you need to do is create a collision mesh that is a simplified version of the main model mesh, e.g. some stacked boxes that are roughly the shape of the object. For a mushroom it would be a tall skinny box with a more broader box on top. If you want a little more realism you can construct a ~slightly~ more complex collision mesh but don't go overboard or you will take a performance hit.

What kind of shape are you trying to make? a crystal shape that is shiny and transparent? That is tricky, but try using zero or minimum reflectivity and 50 % transparency.

EDIT
I got translucency to work on mine. The exporter only allows you to choose a group when there are 2 or more available, possibly make a duplicate(if you want exact) and create an invisible collision.
Heres what I did. Thats a box in the front.

my textures r in base/texture, milkshape and t2 use them if i want an object with full opacity. But if i add an alpha chan and move the "right slider" of the material in milkshape to the left it gives a white object or an almost totally transparent object, no way to have a translucent (semi transparent) textured crystal.
same for the collision mesh. My crystal and my mushroom are single objects. I tried to rename the only group of my mushroom for example to "collision" or "collision-1" and it doesnt work, i cant chose the mesh "collision" as a collision mesh when i export. The only choices are "none", "cube" or "cylinder".
But if i create another invisible and simple object, a second mesh, i got the choice when i export and can chose the "mushroom" or the "little invisible object" as a collision mesh. For me it means i got a clean shape u can run through ingame or a shitty shape with an invisible simple cube inside and the mushroom is chosen as the collision mesh. Totally illogical and stupid. I just want a clean single-mesh shape which is chosen as a collision mesh ingame...
But thx anyway.
