Haven And Hearth: Mushroom Tree Mystery

Haven and Hearth is a game that involves crafting and planting mushrooms. Players can collect spores, seed them to grains, and grow mushrooms from them. Mushrooms can be grown in caves, swamps, forests, and mountains, with different mushrooms growing in different biomes. Players can also use parchment to extract spore prints, dry them on a herbalist's table, and place them inside a mirk log inventory. The game also features fairy mushrooms and parasol mushrooms, which can be used as substitutes in recipes.

Parasol mushrooms

In the game, players can discuss their experiences and strategies for finding and using parasol mushrooms and other items. Some players suggest using resources like the Ring of Brodgar wiki to learn more about the mushrooms and their spawn locations. It appears that the terrain information on this wiki may not always be accurate, as the game world has undergone changes over time.

The growth and availability of parasol mushrooms and other mushrooms in the game seem to be influenced by various factors, including weather conditions. Players have suggested that there should be more mushrooms available after rain, as well as more variety in the types of mushrooms that spawn. For example, players have proposed the addition of mushrooms such as oyster mushrooms growing on trees, birch boletes, king boletes, and lactaris indigo.

Some players have also discussed the role of mushrooms in crafting and cooking within the game. They have suggested that certain mushrooms, such as fairy mushrooms, can be used as substitutes in recipes, although the effort required to obtain them may not always be worth the outcome. Overall, the inclusion of mushrooms in Haven and Hearth adds an interesting element to the gameplay, allowing players to explore, gather resources, and craft items.

Fairy mushrooms

To obtain fairy mushrooms, players may need to travel to specific areas, such as fairy stones, and pick them up. While they can be used in recipes, some players debate whether the effort of acquiring them is worth it, especially if the player is not already in the vicinity of a fairy stone.

It is not entirely clear if fairy mushrooms have any additional effects or benefits beyond their use as a recipe ingredient. Players are advised to make their own judgments about the usefulness of these mushrooms based on their gameplay experience and the availability of fairy mushrooms in their particular game world.

Overall, fairy mushrooms appear to be an optional element of Haven and Hearth, providing players with an extra foraging and cooking option but not necessarily offering significant advantages or impacts on gameplay.

These mushrooms spawn in certain biomes, including grassland. They can be beige or have a yellow tint.

Oyster Mushrooms

As the name suggests, these mushrooms grow on trees.

Birch Boletes

These mushrooms grow in symbiosis with specific trees and are typically found in woods or under trees.

King Boletes

Also known as Boletus Satanas, these mushrooms could be an ingredient in evil potions.

Mushroom planting

Another suggestion is to inoculate the logs, which is a realistic method used in real life. Players can collect spores, seed them to grains, and then place the papers inside a mirk log inventory with some mulch over the top. This process could be added as a new type of farm, with different kinds of mushrooms growing naturally in different biomes such as caves, swamps, forests, and mountains.

Some players have also suggested specific types of mushrooms they would like to see added to the game, such as royal toadstool, oyster mushrooms, birch boletes, and king boletes. They have also pointed out that certain mushrooms have symbiotic relationships with specific trees and usually grow in woods or only under trees.

Additionally, players have discussed the impact of weather on mushroom growth, suggesting that there should be more mushrooms after rain. They have also proposed infrastructure changes to allow mushrooms to spawn on trees, old logs, or stumps, which is not currently possible in the game.

Mushroom circle

Mushrooms feature heavily in the game, with players discussing the best ways to grow and farm them. Players suggest that mushrooms should be "planted" into myrkwood logs, with hay and a mushroom inside, which over time transform into new mushrooms. It is also suggested that different types of mushrooms should be able to grow in different biomes, such as caves, swamps, forests, and mountains. This would add an interesting dynamic to the game, as players could explore different areas to find specific types of mushrooms.

Some players suggest that mushrooms should be crafted with a parchment to extract spore prints first and then dried on an herbalist's table before being placed inside a mirk log inventory with mulch on top. This process is known as inoculating logs and is a realistic method used in real life. Another player suggests that certain mushrooms should spawn on trees or old logs and stumps, adding an element of surprise and excitement to the game.

Fairy mushrooms are also mentioned in the forums, with players discussing their usefulness in the game. It is suggested that they can be used as a mushroom substitute in recipes and may influence the hunger of produced food. Overall, mushrooms seem to play an important role in the game, with players discussing various aspects of their growth, use, and potential benefits.
