Mooshrooms, also known as mushroom cows, are a type of cow with mushrooms growing out of their skin. They are exclusive to the rare mushroom fields biome in Minecraft. Red mooshrooms can spawn in herds of 4-8 when the light level is 9 or higher and on mycelium. They can be bred with wheat, and a baby mooshroom will spawn within seconds. A brown mooshroom can be created by striking a red mooshroom with lightning, and vice versa. Interestingly, when sheared, mooshrooms transform into regular cows.

What You'll Learn
Find two mooshrooms
Mooshrooms are a rare variety of cows that are covered in mushrooms. They are exclusive to the mushroom fields biome, which is a rarely found biome. Red mooshrooms can spawn in herds of 4-8 when the light level is 9 or higher and on mycelium. They do not naturally spawn in any other biome.
If you are having trouble finding mooshrooms, you can use a cheat to summon a mooshroom or use a spawn egg. Once you have found two mooshrooms, you will need to keep them close together when breeding, so it is recommended to build a fence to keep them from running away.
Red mooshrooms transform into brown mooshrooms when struck by lightning, and vice versa. Brown mooshrooms do not spawn naturally. Red mooshrooms have a 5% chance of spawning as babies.
Now that you have found two mooshrooms, you can proceed to the next step of breeding mushroom cows.

Use wheat to activate love mode
Mooshrooms, or mushroom cows, are variants of cows that are covered in mushrooms. They are exclusive to the rare mushroom fields biome and do not naturally spawn in any other biome. They spawn in herds of 4-8 when the light level is 9 or higher and on mycelium.
To breed mooshrooms, you need to start with at least two of them. They should be close together, and a fence can be built to keep them from running away. With wheat selected in your hot bar, feed the wheat to each of the mooshrooms one at a time. As you feed the wheat to the mooshrooms, you will see red hearts appear over their heads, indicating that they have entered love mode. Once you have fed both mooshrooms, they will turn to each other and red hearts will continue to appear over their heads. After a moment, the red hearts will disappear, and a baby mooshroom will appear.
Wheat can also be used to lead mooshrooms around, and they will follow a player holding wheat. Mooshrooms can be sheared to drop 5 corresponding mushrooms and turn into a normal cow. The mushrooms will not grow back.

Feed wheat to each mooshroom
Mooshrooms are fascinating creatures in Minecraft. They are hybrid crosses between cows and mushrooms, covered in mushrooms and exclusive to the rare mushroom fields biome. They are one of the rarest mobs in the game.
To breed mooshrooms, you must first find two mooshrooms to breed. They need to be close together, so it's a good idea to build a fence to keep them from running away. Once you have two mooshrooms in proximity, you will need to feed them wheat. Select the wheat in your hot bar and feed it to each mooshroom, one at a time. The game control for feeding the wheat depends on the version of Minecraft you are playing. For example, for the Java Edition (PC/Mac), you would right-click on the mooshroom. As you feed the wheat to the mooshrooms, you will see red hearts appear over their heads.
Feeding wheat to mooshrooms is an essential step in the breeding process. It stimulates their reproductive systems and encourages them to breed. Wheat is a favourite food of mooshrooms, and they will happily follow a player holding wheat. By feeding wheat to each mooshroom, you are essentially wooing them and creating the ideal conditions for successful breeding.
It is important to note that mooshrooms are particular about their breeding partners. They will only breed with other mooshrooms, and even then, they have specific preferences. When breeding two red mooshrooms, there is a 1 in 1024 chance of spawning a brown baby variant. Conversely, breeding a red and brown mooshroom together gives a 50% chance of either a red or brown baby mooshroom.
In addition to breeding, feeding wheat to baby mooshrooms has another benefit. It shortens their growing time by 10% of the remaining time. This accelerated growth means that mushrooms will appear sooner as the baby mooshroom grows into an adult.

Wait 5 minutes before they can breed again
Mooshrooms, or mushroom cows, are a variation of regular cows that are covered in mushrooms. They are exclusive to the rare mushroom fields biome and do not naturally spawn in any other biome.
To breed mooshrooms, you will first need to find two mooshrooms to breed. If you are having trouble finding mooshrooms, you can use a cheat or a spawn egg to summon a mooshroom. Make sure your mooshrooms are close together when breeding, as they will need to be near each other to breed. With wheat selected in your hot bar, feed the wheat to each of the mooshrooms one at a time.
Once you have successfully bred your mooshrooms, you will need to wait 5 minutes before they can breed again. This cooldown period is similar to that of regular cows in Minecraft, which also have a 5-minute cooldown before they can breed again.
During this 5-minute waiting period, there are several activities you can do with your mooshrooms. For example, you can milk a mooshroom by using a bucket on it, which will yield a milk bucket. You can also use a small flower on a brown mooshroom to make it produce a suspicious stew the next time it is milked with a bowl. Alternatively, you can shear a mooshroom, which will turn it into a regular cow and drop five corresponding mushrooms.

Shear mooshrooms to turn them into regular cows
Mooshrooms are mushroom-covered variants of cows found only in the rare mushroom fields biome. They are hard to miss and can be found roaming in herds of 4-8 when the light level is 9 or higher. They are not the same as cows, but they have the same AI behaviour as cows. They walk around slowly and aimlessly, huffing and mooing occasionally. They avoid danger such as cliffs, fire, or lava, but make no attempt to stay out of water.
If you want to breed mooshrooms, you will need to start with at least two mooshrooms and feed them both wheat. They will need to be close together when breeding, so it is recommended to build a fence to keep them from running away.
Now, if you want to shear mooshrooms to turn them into regular cows, you will need to craft shears by placing two iron ingots diagonally. Once they are made, you can simply right-click on a mooshroom while holding the shears. There will be a small explosion particle effect around the mob, which will convert into a regular cow. Players will also obtain five red or brown mooshrooms, depending on the mob's variant. Once this process is complete, there is no way to convert that cow back to being a mooshroom. The mushrooms won't grow back.
