Naturally in dark areas such as:

• Caves

• swamp biomes

• Dark forests

• Nether (especially brown mushrooms)

• Mushroom islands (mycelium biome)

• Also spawn on Mycelium, Soul Earth and Podsol, regardless of light level

Growth

Fungi can spread on the following blocks:

• Earth, grass, stone - only at light level ≤ 12

• Mycelium, podsol, soul soil: independent of light level

Large mushrooms:

• Can be created with bone meal on a normal mushroom

• Require at least 7x7 free area and 9 blocks height

• Spawn in brown or red variant, depending on the starting mushroom

Use

Food:

• Brown + red mushrooms + wooden bowl = mushroom soup (satisfies 6 hunger points)

• With flower additive + suspicious mushroom results in "suspicious soup" with special effects

Brown mushrooms for alchemy:

Component of Fermented Spider Eyes, base for potions of weakness, invisibility etc.

Deco:

• Large mushrooms serve as a tree substitute in decorative or fantasy buildings

Tips

• Harvest mushrooms by hand or with any tool - no special tool required

• Ideal for farming in shady caves or on mycelium substrate

• Large mushrooms provide many individual mushrooms and are more efficient than natural spawn points

Trivia

• Mushrooms spread very slowly by themselves

• Mushrooms grow permanently on mushroom islands at any light level

• The cow variant Mooshroom only spawns on mushroom islands and provides mushroom soup when milked
