White mushroom spores are seeds that can be planted into tilled ground to produce white mushrooms. White mushroom spores can be obtained by crafting it using a recipe or by buying the seeds from the market. They can also be obtained from another white mushroom using a crafting grid. In the game Agricraft, players can breed crops to develop stronger, more productive seeds. Crossbreeding two separate species of plants may result in a spontaneous mutation that produces a third species. However, some players have reported difficulties in breeding brown mushroom spores in Agricraft. This may be due to light levels, as nether wart grows in dark caves, while potatoes require a light source.

What You'll Learn
Use red and brown mushrooms to breed white mushrooms
To breed white mushrooms in Agricraft, you can try crossbreeding red and brown mushrooms. Mushrooms are a variety of fungus that grows and spreads in dark areas with a light level of 12 or less. They can be planted and grown on blocks that have a full top surface in light levels below 13 and not directly underneath the sky.
To breed mushrooms, you will need to place a red mushroom and a brown mushroom adjacent to each other. They can be planted on mycelium, podzol, or nylium, and they will remain planted in any light level, including under the sky. Both brown and red mushrooms grow at the same rate, regardless of the light level.
You can also try using bone meal to speed up the growth process. Applying bone meal to a mushroom gives it a chance to grow into a huge mushroom of the same color, provided it is on a proper block such as a grass block, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, or moss block at a light level of 12 or below.
Another option for breeding mushrooms is to use protoplast fusion, a technique that has been used to create mushroom hybrids and performed intraspecifically, interspecifically, and interhetero generically. This technique involves the genetic manipulation of fungi, which can be especially useful for those lacking sexual reproductive capacity.

Plant white mushroom spores in tilled soil to grow white mushrooms
White mushrooms can be grown from spores, which can be bought as part of a mushroom-growing kit. These kits contain organic material that has been inoculated with mushroom spores. To grow white mushrooms, start by filling a wooden box that is at least 6 inches (15 cm) deep with nitrogen-rich manure, such as horse manure. Leave a few inches (8-9 cm) of space below the rim of the box.
Next, spread the inoculated material from your kit on top of the soil and mist it thoroughly. Keep the box in a dark, damp, and warm place, with a temperature of around 70 °F (21 °C). After a few weeks, you should notice a fine white webbing on the surface of the bed, which is called mycelium. This is the start of your mushroom colony.
Cover the mycelium with a couple of inches (5 cm) of damp potting soil or peat, which is called casing. Lower the bed's temperature to 55 °F (12 °C) and maintain moisture. It may be helpful to cover the setup with plastic wrap or a few layers of wet newspaper. In about a month, white mushrooms should start to appear.
It is worth noting that white mushrooms are a mutation resulting from breeding red and brown mushrooms. Therefore, an alternative method to growing white mushrooms is to breed red and brown mushrooms on mycelium.

Crossbreed two species to get a third species
Crossbreeding two species to get a third species, or hybridization, is a common mechanism in nature, especially in plants. It is also a form of human-mediated reproduction, often used in traditional horticulture and modern agriculture. Hybridization can occur in nature when two distinct species breed and produce offspring, which may or may not be fertile. This is common in birds, and hybrids can be difficult to distinguish from other birds. It also occurs in canids, with coyotes and wolves or dogs hybridizing, and in felines, with big cats and domestic cats breeding.
In plants, hybridization is fundamental to their evolutionary history. Plants frequently form polyploids, which are individuals with more than two copies of each chromosome. When two plant species hybridize, the offspring may have double the chromosome count, making them reproductively incompatible with either parent. Human impact on the environment has increased interbreeding between regional species, and the introduction of new species has also led to more hybridization. This has been referred to as genetic pollution, as it may threaten many species with extinction.
In humans, hybridization occurred in prehistory, with Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans interbreeding as recently as 40,000 years ago. More recently, a hominin fossil discovered in a Russian cave belonged to a first-generation hybrid with a Neanderthal mother and a Denisovan father.
In animal and plant breeding, hybrids are formed from crosses within a species, such as between different breeds. Single cross hybrids, or F1 hybrids, are produced by crossing two true-breeding organisms, resulting in offspring that are heterozygous, with one dominant and one recessive allele. Double cross hybrids are formed by crossing two F1 hybrids, resulting in four unrelated grandparents. Three-way cross hybrids are produced by crossing an F1 hybrid with an inbred line, while triple cross hybrids are formed by crossing two different three-way cross hybrids.

Use JEI to see what crops can breed and yield mutations
When using JEI to see what crops can breed and yield mutations in Agricraft, there are a few key things to keep in mind. Firstly, ensure that you have the NEI/JEI mod installed, as this will provide you with valuable information on the required mutations and breeding pairs needed to produce different seeds. For example, to get sugarcane seeds, you would need to breed wheat with carrot, as indicated by the following line: "AgriCraft:seedSugarcane=minecraft:wheat_seeds+AgriCraft:seedCarrot".
Additionally, pay attention to the growth conditions required for each crop. While some crops have specific requirements, such as certain types of soil or the presence of specific blocks nearby, others may require the corresponding ore of the resource to be below the farmland for them to mutate or grow. For instance, redstone seeds would need redstone ore, while sugar cane would need sand.
Analyzing crops through the Seed Analyzer will provide insights into their ideal growth conditions, which can include factors such as humidity, acidity, and nutrients. This information can guide your breeding and mutation decisions.
It's worth noting that crops have different stats that influence their growth rate, yield, and strength. By crossbreeding crops, you can aim to develop stronger and more productive seeds, with higher stat values. The Mutativity stat, for instance, determines the likelihood of mutations and crossbreeds.
Agricraft also introduces dominant and recessive genes, adding complexity to the breeding process. A plant may inherit traits from both parents, and while dominant genes are expressed, recessive genes can still influence future crossbreeds. This means that even if a plant expresses a Gain of 7, it may still have a recessive trait of Gain of 6, which could reappear in future crossbreeds.

Use Botania to get mycelium for cross-breeding
To cross-breed white mushrooms in Agricraft, you will need mycelium. Mycelium can be obtained through Botania in a few different ways.
Firstly, you can use Life Infusion, which requires 8 full hearts. If you are having trouble reaching 8 hearts, you can try to eat different types of food, as eating a greater variety of food can increase your hearts.
Another method to obtain mycelium is through Forestry, if you have that unlocked. Additionally, you can create mycelium with the armor from the Mega Loot Cases, which often have set effects that grant more hearts when wearing at least two pieces.
Lastly, you can use Floral Fertilizer, which can grow random mystical flowers on grass. These flowers can be crafted into mystical petals, which are used in most crafting recipes. You can also turn petals into blocks for storage and decoration.

Frequently asked questions
White mushroom spores can be obtained by crafting it using a recipe or by buying the seeds from the market. You can also obtain white mushroom spores from one white mushroom in a crafting grid. Plant the spores in tilled soil to produce white mushrooms.
One issue with breeding mushrooms in Agricraft is that the parent plants, such as potatoes and nether wart, require different light levels to grow. Potatoes grow in light, while nether wart grows in darkness. To solve this, you can try growing them in a dark cave and placing a light source far away from the nether wart but close enough to the potato.
You can automate the process by using an AE system to send bonemeal to an autonomous activator pointing at a mushroom on the ground. Use terrain smashers or transition planes to break the mushroom blocks, and ensure that at least one mushroom goes back to an autonomous activator for replanting.
White mushrooms can be obtained through crossbreeding red and brown mushrooms on mycelium. You can also try using the Forestry multifarm or MFR harvester with mycelium to auto-harvest mushrooms. Additionally, a Thaumcraft solution involves placing an arcane bore to 'mine' a giant mushroom without disturbing the dirt it is planted on.
