Additionally, you will need one Morel for theFried Mushroom recipe, shown in the Common Mushroom section.
Growing Mushrooms In The Farm Cave
On your farm, you’re able to find a small cave near the northern entrance.Once you’ve made 25,000g,you can choose to turn this into a mushroom cave or a bat cave, in which bats will drop fruit.
With the mushroom cave option selected, you will have achance to find every mushroom type except Magma Caps.This is a great way to get mushrooms on your farm, regardless of the season.
Mushroom Trees
Mushroom trees can spring up on your farm,yielding Common, Red, and Purple Mushrooms.These trees have a small chance to appear during the Fall, and have an additional chance to spread ‘seeds’ to nearby areas with nothing in the way.
Overall, the chance of a Mushroom tree appearing during the Fall isfive percent each day.If a tree does spawn, it willtransform an existing tree into a Mushroom version,with stumps becoming Mushroom stumps.
Upon cutting down a Mushroom tree with an axe, you will receive ahandful of Red or Purple Mushrooms.
The best thing to do with Mushroom trees is toattach a tapper to the side.This will give you a steady supply of mushrooms without ruining the tree. The mushroom received from the tapper is a bit complex to figure out, as it’sdependent on the previous harvest.
