Mushroom biomes are found in the video game Terraria. Underground mushroom biomes are found naturally, while surface mushroom biomes must be created by the player. To create a surface mushroom biome, players must plant mushroom grass seeds in mud. The grass will spread naturally to create the biome. The Clentaminator tool can also be used to convert biomes into mushroom biomes using a dark blue solution.

What You'll Learn
Underground mushroom biomes are found naturally
To create an artificial underground mushroom biome in Terraria, players can put mud blocks in a grid of 1x1 empty cells, allowing mushroom grass to spread to more blocks and accelerate the biome-creation process. Alternatively, players can collect 25 mushroom grass seeds, which can be obtained from plants in a natural underground biome, and use them to grow a biome. Players can also use the Clentaminator with a Dark Blue Solution to convert other biomes into underground mushroom biomes.
In Minecraft, mushroom biomes are commonly referred to as mushroom islands and are rare. They always generate as islands surrounded by deep oceans and are the only places in the game where mycelium and mooshrooms are found. Mushroom biomes in Minecraft are distinct from normal biomes due to the presence of mycelium, which allows mushrooms to flourish at any time of day or night. Huge mushrooms grow on the mycelium, and no hostile mobs spawn naturally in these biomes, making them peaceful habitats for players.

Creating a Glowing Mushroom biome
Another method is to manually create the biome by planting Mushroom Grass Seeds on Mud Blocks. You can obtain these seeds by destroying plants in a natural Glowing Mushroom biome underground, but the chances are low, at 1 in 40 plants. Alternatively, the Dryad NPC will sell Mushroom Grass Seeds when in the Glowing Mushroom biome. You do not need 80 seeds to start, as the grass spreads at a rate of three to five tiles per day. Clear an 80-tile or wider area and replace the dirt with mud blocks. Then, place the seeds on these tiles and wait for them to spread.
To speed up the process, you can put the Mud Blocks in a grid of 1x1 empty cells, allowing the grass to spread to more blocks. You can also place the seeds on opposite sections to speed up the spread. After a few days, the biome will begin to take shape, and the background will get darker. Once you have 100 mushroom-related tiles above ground or 160 underground, the biome will be complete.
A Floating Island can be a good option for a Surface Mushroom biome, keeping it out of the way of most surface activities. Alternatively, you can create a tunnel from an underground mushroom biome to the surface, line one side with mud, and wait for the blue grass to grow to the surface.

The Clentaminator tool
The Clentaminator is a Hardmode tool that can be used to create or destroy biomes. It uses solutions as ammunition, with each solution spreading a different biome. The Clentaminator has a similar firing pattern to the Flamethrower but has a much longer range of 60 tiles, can fire through blocks, and works in water. It is generally the fastest means of spreading or removing Hallow, Corruption, and Crimson.
The Clentaminator can be purchased from the Steampunker for 2 PC, and the solutions can be bought from her for 15 PC. It can also be upgraded into the Terraformer by submerging the Clentaminator in Shimmer after the Moon Lord has been defeated.
The Clentaminator is a useful tool for players who want to completely change their biomes. For example, the Green Solution, which converts Glowing Mushroom biomes into Jungle biomes, can be purchased from the Steampunker for 25 Silver when she is in a Forest. The Dark Blue Solution, which converts Jungle biomes into Glowing Mushroom biomes, can be bought from Truffle for 25 Silver. With the Clentaminator and these solutions, players can easily switch between Jungle and Glowing Mushroom biomes.
The Clentaminator is also effective for searching for Life Fruit, as it will break them out of place and convert the Jungle foliage to Glowing Mushroom foliage, creating a contrast that makes the Life Fruit easier to spot. However, using the Clentaminator in this way will likely also break Plantera's Bulbs, summoning Plantera.
To conserve ammunition when using the Clentaminator, it is recommended to have at least two ammo-conserving items or buffs. For example, the Chlorophyte Helmet and Vortex Breastplate give a constant chance to not consume ammo, while the Ammo Reservation Potion and the Ammo Box provide ammo-conserving buffs. Combining all four of these items and buffs results in a 61.6% chance to not consume ammunition.

Jungle Grass spreads quickly
Jungle Grass spreads at a rate of three to five tiles per day. This means that you do not need 80 Jungle Grass Seeds to get started. You can spread them out by a few tiles on the mud you've placed. After a few days, the area you've covered will begin to convert into a Jungle biome.
Jungle Grass Seeds can be obtained by destroying plants growing in an already-established Jungle biome. They can be used to craft Green Thread, Leafy Jungle Wall, and Jungle Vine Wall. Jungle Grass Seeds have a 1% chance to drop from destroying any plant growing on Jungle grass. Charging through the entire surface jungle and cutting down every single plant may only yield a few seeds. It is worth remembering that Jungle Grass will spread to adjacent open Mud Blocks just like any other Grass, albeit slowly. A single planted Jungle Grass Seed can eventually spread through an area of Mud of any size.
If you have found the Flower Boots in a Jungle Shrine chest, you can produce plants as quickly as you can cut them down. Running around on existing Jungle grass while cutting the flowers produces Jungle Grass Seeds very quickly despite the low drop rate.
The most efficient setup for creating an Underground Jungle "farm" for harvesting Jungle Spores, Jungle Seeds, and Nature's Gifts, is to place a floor of Jungle grass and a ceiling 3 blocks in height. On the next layer up, do the same, but this time also add a middle layer so you have 3 lines with 1 space between each, and repeat. You can then harvest it easily by using a Muramasa, Blade of Grass, hammer, or similar long-reaching weapon or tool to harvest all 3 layers.

Enemies spawn in mushroom biomes
In the video game Terraria, the Glowing Mushroom biome has its own set of enemies, including the Anomura Fungus, Fungi Bulb, Mushi Ladybug, Mushroom Zombie, and Spore Zombie. These enemies will spawn in both the surface and underground versions of the biome. It is worth noting that the enemies in the surface version of the biome are much more powerful than other pre-Hardmode enemies. To reduce the spawn rate of these enemies, players can build NPC houses in the biome and have NPCs live there, such as the Truffle and the Dryad.
In Minecraft, the Mushroom Fields biome is unique in that no hostile mobs normally spawn there. However, there are some exceptions. Red mooshrooms, bats, and glow squids are the only mobs that spawn naturally in this biome. Additionally, monster spawners found in mineshafts, dungeons, or strongholds can still spawn mobs, and raids can spawn illagers. If the player has not slept in three nights, phantoms will also spawn in the biome.
It is important to note that the information regarding enemy spawns in the Mushroom Fields biome in Minecraft may vary depending on the version of the game. Some older versions of the game may have had different mechanics for enemy spawns in this biome.
Creating a Glowing Mushroom biome in Terraria can be done by placing Mud Blocks in a grid pattern with 1x1 empty cells, allowing Mushroom Grass to spread. Alternatively, players can paint a Mud Block with normal or deep paint and use a Mushroom Grass Seed to let it spread to adjacent Mud Blocks. In Minecraft, the Mushroom Fields biome always generates as islands surrounded by deep oceans, and they are the only place in the game where mycelium and mooshrooms are found.
