Mushroom Trees: Where Do They Come From?

Mushroom trees are a fascinating occurrence in the world of gaming, specifically in the popular games Minecraft and Stardew Valley. In Minecraft, huge mushrooms can be found in the Mushroom Biome, a mysterious and safe area that is devoid of trees. While trees don't naturally spawn in this biome, players can grow them from saplings, although it is challenging. On the other hand, in Stardew Valley, mushroom trees are the rarest variety and can be obtained through specific events or by cultivating them. These trees offer a unique resource, as chopping them down yields mushrooms instead of wood. Understanding how these mushroom trees spawn and their characteristics adds an intriguing layer to the gaming experience and can provide players with valuable resources.

In Stardew Valley, a common tree can turn into a mushroom tree in Fall

Mushroom trees are the rarest variety in Stardew Valley, but players can increase their chances of obtaining one by having more trees on their farm. Players can also purchase a Mushroom Tree Seed from Qi's Walnut Room and plant it to grow a mushroom tree. Additionally, players can wait for an existing mushroom tree to drop seeds, although these cannot be dug up with a tool and must be left to grow naturally.

Mushroom trees can be chopped down with an axe, yielding 5-6 red or purple mushrooms, with an extra mushroom from the stump. They can also be tapped like common trees, producing common, red, and purple mushrooms. However, during Winter, mushroom trees will be reduced to stumps, and the tappers will not produce any mushrooms. In Spring, the stumps will regrow into full-size mushroom trees.

Some players have shared their experiences with mushroom trees spawning on their farms. One player accidentally grew a mushroom tree by planting a maple sapling in a specific location, while another player had a maple tree turn into a mushroom tree. Another player shared a strategy for increasing the chances of spawning a mushroom tree by blocking off a quadrant of their farm and letting trees grow unchecked until Fall.

Mushroom trees can be grown from seeds or saplings

In Minecraft, huge mushrooms can be grown from red or brown mushrooms by applying bonemeal to them, but they require specific conditions to grow. The block underneath the mushroom must be dirt, podzol, or mycelium, and light levels must be 12 or less. Each type of mushroom has its own space requirements, and the area above the mushroom must be clear. Huge mushrooms are commonly found in the Mushroom Biome, which is located far out in the ocean, away from other landmasses. While trees do not naturally spawn in this biome, they can be grown from saplings, although it is challenging due to the mycelium overtaking any dirt-related blocks.

In Minecraft, huge mushrooms can be grown by applying bone meal to a small mushroom

Huge mushrooms are tree-like features that can be found naturally in swamp, flower forest, dark forest, and mushroom fields biomes. They can also be grown from a small mushroom by applying bone meal to it. Small mushrooms do not turn into huge mushrooms naturally.

To grow huge mushrooms, you need to first ensure that the block under the mushroom's stem is dirt, podzol, or mycelium. If placed on dirt, coarse dirt, or grass blocks, the skylight and block light must be 12 or less. If placed on podzol or mycelium, the light level does not matter. Each type of mushroom has its own space requirements. For example, huge brown mushrooms have a single stalk in the centre with a 7x7 canopy of brown mushroom blocks at the top with the corners missing. For the mushroom to grow, the lowest four blocks of the stem must be air or leaves, and a 7x7x(height-3) region above must be clear of anything except air or leaves.

Huge red mushrooms, on the other hand, have a different canopy composed of five 3x3 slabs of red mushroom blocks arranged above and around the stalk, forming a 'dome'. When growing red mushrooms, only the blocks directly above the small mushroom need to be clear, and other blocks in the dome can be replaced by blocks that mobs can't suffocate in, such as slabs, end portal frames, and end portals.

In the overworld, podzol is the easiest block to obtain for growing mushrooms. To make podzol, plant a giant spruce tree with four saplings and wait for it to grow. Then, chop the tree down and use the podzol to plant a mushroom and apply bone meal. Alternatively, you can dig a 1x1 hole, fill it with water, and quickly plant a mushroom in the water and apply bone meal before the mushroom unplants. In the Nether, nylium is a good choice for growing huge mushrooms, as mobs do not spawn in small spaces.

Mushroom trees can be chopped down to get red and purple mushrooms

In the game Stardew Valley, mushroom trees are the rarest variety of tree. They can be obtained in two ways. Firstly, a common tree can turn into a mushroom tree due to a rare event in the Fall. On each day of Fall, starting on Fall 2, there is a 5% chance of a spawning event being triggered. During the event, 10 farm tiles are chosen at random. If any of those 10 tiles contain a fully grown, untapped common tree (or tree stump), that tree will transform into a mushroom tree (or mushroom stump). Secondly, you can grow them like any normal tree if you know how to start.

Mushroom trees can be chopped down using an axe and will drop 5-6 red or purple mushrooms (plus one for the trunk). They do not yield seeds when shaken or chopped down, but they will spread seeds like a common tree. If unobstructed, seeds spread by a mushroom tree have a 20% chance to grow to the next stage each day during Spring, Summer, or Fall.

In Minecraft, huge mushrooms are tree-like features that consist of mushroom blocks. They can be found naturally in swamp, Flower Forest, dark forest, and mushroom fields biomes, or grown from a small mushroom by applying bone meal to it. Small mushrooms do not turn into huge mushrooms naturally. Huge red mushrooms have a single stalk in the center, with a canopy composed of five 3x3 slabs of red mushroom blocks arranged above and around the stalk, forming a 'dome'.

In the Mushroom Biome, there is a distinct lack of trees. While it is possible to grow trees in a Mushroom biome from saplings, it can be very challenging. When dirt, grass, or anything similar is placed next to Mycelium, the Mycelium transforms the dirt-related block into Mycelium.

In Minecraft, trees don't naturally spawn in mushroom biomes

Minecraft has several biomes, and the Mushroom Biome is considered the most mysterious of them all. It is also referred to as the "Mushroom Fields" and is found far out in the ocean, not connected to any other landmasses. The Mushroom Biome is distinct from other biomes due to the presence of Mycelium, a type of grass that enables mushrooms to flourish in the area.

While the Mushroom Biome is fascinating, it is important to note that trees do not naturally spawn in this biome. This absence of naturally spawning trees is a unique characteristic of the Mushroom Biome. However, it is possible to grow trees in the Mushroom Biome, although it can be challenging. Players can bring saplings with them and create elevated platforms that are not touching Mycelium to facilitate tree growth.

The reason for the absence of naturally spawning trees in the Mushroom Biome is unclear. One factor may be the dominance of Mycelium, which tends to overpower dirt, grass, and similar blocks, converting them into Mycelium. This characteristic of Mycelium can make it challenging to establish the conditions necessary for tree growth.

Despite the lack of naturally spawning trees, the Mushroom Biome offers a peaceful habitat for players. Hostile mobs do not typically spawn in this biome, making it a safe environment to explore and establish a base. Additionally, the abundance of mushrooms ensures a constant food source, contributing to the overall appeal of this unique biome in the Minecraft world.
