Mushroom

Mushrooms are forageable items found in the wild. Mushrooms can be gathered and sold, donated to the Museum, or used for cooking or attracting Pixies using Pixie Shrines.

Two types of mushrooms exist in the game: regular shrooms that grow in patches on the ground and tree shrooms that grow exclusively on tree stumps. Regular mushrooms are seasonal, meaning they only spawn during particular season or seasons; tree mushrooms can appear during any season. The player's Luck does not affect both regular and wood mushroom spawns.

Uses

Shrooms belong to one of three mushroom collection to the Museum and can be donated. Some mushrooms are also used in cooking.

Both ground and wood mushrooms can be placed as offering to attract pixies in Pixie Shrines and the Town Shrine. The chance to attract a pixie is higher for more expensive shrooms; shroom offerings get an additional 5% bonus to attract a pixie compared to crop and animal produce offerings of the same value. The rare Pixiecap shroom is the best raw offering available in the game, boasting a 5% chance for attracting a rainbow pixie and 74% chance for a random non-rainbow one.

Regular mushrooms

Regular mushrooms are seasonal, meaning their chance to spawn depends on and changes every season. New mushroom patches can spawn anywhere on the map or the player's farm every morning, provided the player have not reached their maximum number of shroom patches. Two additional shroom patches will spawn during rainy or stormy weather; additionally, the global number of shroom patches can be increased by 8 by picking up the Shroom Ally blessing from the Pixie Guardian.

Every mushroom patch has a maximum size that depends on the species it belongs to. Existing mushroom patches that have not yet reached their maximum size have a 70% chance to grow by one every morning.

When a mushroom patch reaches its maximum size, the player can add a green or rainbow pixie to the patch. Patches with attached pixies do not despawn when the seasons change, so they can be harvested indefinitely.

Wood mushrooms

Wood mushrooms only grow on tree stumps. Unlike regular mushrooms, they are not season dependent. Every regular tree stump both on the player's farm and outside it has a 3% chance to have a shroom grow on it every morning, with the shroom type depending on its rarity:

Wild Ooze Shroom (45.45%)
Caramel Fan Shroom (22.73%)
Reishi Shroom (15.15%)
Starpharia Shroom (7.58%)
Snoggledrop Shroom (5.3%)
Golden Heart Shroom (3.79%)

Dark Wood and White Wood tree stumps can only grow mushrooms unique to their type. Dark Wood stumps left over from chopping Orb Trees have a 2% chance to grow a Dragonscale Shroom each morning; White Wood stumps left over from chopping Wurple or Zorpian Trees have a 3% chance to grow a Pixie Wing Shroom.

Wood mushrooms can be picked up by interacting with the stump they are on. (If the player has an Axe in hand, they will also hit the stump while picking the shroom, potentially destroying that stump.) Wood shrooms do not disappear until they are picked up and cannot be harvested by pixies.

Terrariums

In addition to relying on wild spawns, the player can also grow their own mushrooms using a Shroom Terrarium or a Golden Shroom Terrarium. The regular terrarium get introduced during Tobias's quest Crafting a Shroom Terrarium in Autumn Year 1, and the player can craft as many of them as they would like. The Golden Shroom Terrarium is unique and can only be obtained via the Soot Puff tank rewards in the Museum.

Both terrariums will produce one random mushroom every six and three days respectively; the regular terrarium has a 1 in 9 chance to produce a shroom that has not yet been donated to the Museum, and the golden terrarium is guaranteed to produce a new shroom. Once all shroom collections in the Museum are complete, both terrariums will produce random mushrooms.
