Breathing Life In Subnautica's Mushroom Forests

The Mushroom Forest in Subnautica is a biome characterized by towering coral known as Tree Mushrooms, with dark green caps and bright orange undersides. There are two Mushroom Forests, Northeastern and Northwestern, with the Northwestern forest being the larger of the two. The Mushroom Forest is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including Bone Sharks, Jellyrays, and Mesmers. It is also a source of valuable resources such as lithium and shale outcrops. To explore the Mushroom Forest, players need to be cautious of the dangers posed by the local wildlife, as well as ensure they have a good supply of oxygen tanks or a Seamoth boat to dive to the necessary depths.

The Mushroom Forest is a biome

The Mushroom Forest is easily recognisable by its characteristic giant mushrooms that grow like leaves on large tree-like rocks. Above, the caps of the mushrooms are dark green, and below they are bright orange. These “trees” are the result of the growth of a special type of coral. The trees with mushrooms are very large and tall, so you can see the Subnautica Mushroom Forest even at shallow depths. The bottom of this biome lies at levels from 125 to 200 meters, making it much deeper than the Herbal Plateau and the Kelp Forest.

The Mushroom Forest is home to a variety of fauna and flora, including Bone Sharks, Jellyrays, and Mesmers. It is relatively safe compared to some other biomes in Subnautica, but players are advised to stay cautious while exploring this area as Bonesharks tend to lurk in the denser parts of the biome, and Reaper Leviathans can be found at the borders of the Crash Zone, Mountains, and Dunes.

The Mushroom Forest is one of the best biomes to explore and is one of the first places to find large deposits of minerals. It is packed with resources, especially Lithium and Shale Outcrops.

It has two forests: Northeastern and Northwestern

The Mushroom Forest is a biome characterized by towering coral known as Tree Mushrooms. There are two Mushroom Forests in Subnautica: Northeastern and Northwestern.

The Northeastern Mushroom Forest is smaller and denser, packed with Tree Mushrooms and featuring cliffs that lead down to the Bulb Zone. It is found next to the front of the Aurora, a huge crashed ship. Most of the fauna of the Bulb Zone, including predators like Mesmers, Ampeels, and Bonesharks, often wander into this forest, making it equally or even more dangerous than its Northwestern counterpart. Reaper Leviathans can also be found near the borders of the Crash Zone, Mountains, and Dunes.

The Northwestern Mushroom Forest is the larger of the two. It borders the Dunes, Northern Blood Kelp Zone, Underwater Islands, Grassy Plateaus, and one of the Kelp Forests. This forest is dominated by a single Giant Tree Mushroom, where most of the valuable resources can be found in abundance. Players should exercise caution while exploring this area, as Bonesharks lurk in the denser parts of the biome, and several Reaper Leviathans have been spotted along the borders.

The Mushroom Forests are easily recognizable by their tall, flat, disc-shaped mushroom-like branches. They are located in the northern and northwestern parts of the map, and players can reach them by heading north or northwest from the middle of the Aurora.

The Mushroom Forest biome is also one of the best places to explore and find large deposits of minerals and crafting materials. It is much deeper than the Herbal Plateau and the Kelp Forest, with depths ranging from 125 to 200 meters, so players will need a good supply of oxygen tanks or a Seamoth boat to explore this area.

The Northwestern forest is the largest

The Mushroom Forest is a biome characterized by an abundance of towering coral, known as tree mushrooms, as well as many other life forms, especially flora. The trees with mushrooms are very large and tall, so you can see the Subnautica Mushroom Forest even at shallow depths. However, the bottom of this biome lies at levels from 125 to 200 meters, making it much deeper than the Herbal Plateau and the Kelp Forest.

The Northwestern Mushroom Forest is home to a variety of fauna and flora, including Bone Sharks, Jellyrays, and Mesmers. It is relatively safe compared to some other biomes in Subnautica. However, players are advised to stay cautious while exploring this area as Bonesharks tend to lurk in the denser parts of the biome, and several Reaper Leviathans can be found along the borders of the Crash Zone, Mountains, and Dunes.

Wreck 9 can also be found in the Northwestern Mushroom Forest, where two very rare purple pinecones can be found southeast of the wreck, close to other local flora and coral, near the border with the Grassy Plateaus. The Mushroom Forest is one of the best biomes to explore and is one of the first places to find large deposits of minerals.

It is home to a variety of flora and fauna

The Mushroom Forest is a biome characterised by towering coral known as Tree Mushrooms, as well as many other life forms, especially flora. There are two Mushroom Forests in Subnautica: the Northeastern and the Northwestern Mushroom Forests.

The Northeastern Mushroom Forest is the smaller of the two. It is densely packed with Tree Mushrooms and features cliffs that lead down to the Bulb Zone. Most of the fauna of the Bulb Zone, including predators like Mesmers, Ampeels, and Bonesharks, often wander into the Northeastern Mushroom Forest, making it equally, if not more, dangerous than the Northwestern one.

The Northwestern Mushroom Forest is the larger of the two forests and borders the Dunes, Northern Blood Kelp Zone, Underwater Islands, Grassy Plateaus, and Kelp Forest. This forest is dominated by a single Giant Tree Mushroom, where most of the valuable resources can be found in abundance. The player is advised to stay cautious while exploring this area as Bonesharks lurk in the denser parts of the biome, along with several Reaper Leviathans found at the borders of the Crash Zone, Mountains, and Dunes.

Both forests are home to a variety of flora and fauna. Some notable creatures that can be found in the Mushroom Forests include Bonesharks, Jellyrays, and Mesmers. The biomass in this area is dominated by plant life. The Mushroom Forests are also one of the biomes to have two of the Cyclops fragments: the Cyclops hull and bridge fragments.

It is a good place to find crafting materials

The Mushroom Forest in Subnautica is a biome characterised by towering coral known as Tree Mushrooms, as well as an abundance of other flora and fauna. There are two Mushroom Forests: the Northeastern and the Northwestern. The Northwestern Mushroom Forest is the larger of the two and is home to most of the valuable resources.

The Mushroom Forest is one of the best biomes to explore for crafting materials. It is one of the first places to find large deposits of minerals. Once you have the drilling equipment, you can head into the forest to search for crafting materials.

The forest is packed with resources, especially Lithium and Shale Outcrops. Two very rare purple pinecones can also be found in the Northwestern Mushroom Forest. These are located southeast of Wreck 9, close to other local flora and coral, near the border with the Grassy Plateaus.

The Mushroom Forest can be found at coordinates 529, -175, 371. Another way to spot it is to sail along the Aurora (a huge crashed ship). The Mushroom Forest is very close to the Aurora, but be cautious of the radiation near the ship.
