The quest involves picking Magonga mushrooms, which requires players to use their Chocobo to track the scent and jump across giant mushrooms to reach them. A minigame then ensues, where players must tug on different sections of the mushroom in the correct order, based on its pliability, to successfully pluck it.

What You'll Learn
Use Chocobo to sniff out mushrooms
To pick Magonga mushrooms in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players need to use a Chocobo to sniff out the scent. Chocobos are large birds with powerful legs, giving them great speed and endurance. They are useful for traversing long distances and can be used to hunt for treasure.
To obtain a Chocobo, players need to progress through the main story objective in Chapter 2, which introduces the Hustle de Chocobo minigame. Completing the Stuck in a Rut side quest will also unlock a Junon Chocobo.
Once you have your Chocobo, you can use it to find the Magonga mushrooms. Head to Magon Hill and call your Chocobo. Press and hold the Up button on the D-Pad until a glowing trail appears. Follow this trail to find the first Magonga Mushroom.
When you reach the mushroom, a minigame will begin. The mushroom has to be plucked in a certain order, from the side that bends the most to the side that bends the least. Players will need to rotate the analog stick to test the flexibility of each portion of the mushroom and determine the weakest and stiffest parts.
It is important to note that there is no universal solution, as the pliability of the mushroom is different for each player. Additionally, the mushroom's durability should be considered, as receiving a broken mushroom will affect your star rating at the end of the quest.

Navigate to Magon Hill
To navigate to Magon Hill, players of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth must first complete the \"Teach Me, Great Warrior\" side quest. Once this is completed, Cissnei's request, also known as The Spice of Life, becomes available at the Gongaga Village Community Noticeboard.
Players must then head to Cissnei's house, where she will be found in the kitchen, making a kind of stew. She asks players to help her acquire ingredients for her soup, which includes Magonga Mushrooms found at Magon Hill.
Magon Hill is located south of Gongaga Village. To get there, players must climb atop their Chocobo and go to the location on their map. Once there, players must have their Chocobo sniff the air by holding up on the directional pad, which will allow them to track the scent and follow the trail of the Magonga Mushrooms.
It is important to note that the Magonga Mushrooms are guarded by enemies, including floating jellyfish enemies and Gorgon Manes, so players must be prepared for battle before attempting to pick the mushrooms.

Play the mushroom mini-game
To play the mushroom mini-game in The Spice of Life side quest of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you need to first find the Magonga mushrooms. This can be done with the help of your Chocobo, who can sniff out the location of the mushrooms. To do this, hold down "Up" on the D-pad until a glowing or golden trail appears.
Once you reach the mushrooms, the mini-game begins. The goal is to pluck the mushroom successfully by checking its pliability and selecting the sides with the most give to the least. The mushroom is divided into segments, with each segment having a different amount of give. You need to rotate the mushroom in various directions to determine its weakest and strongest points. Point the Magonga mushroom in the direction where it bends the most and hit X, then select the direction with the second-most bend, and so on, until you've chosen every segment. The first mushroom has three portions, and each subsequent mushroom will have one additional portion.
It is important to note that there is no set pattern or universal solution for the portions to be plucked. The order is different every time, and it can be difficult to determine the correct sequence. If you want to obtain all Plump Magonga Mushrooms, it is recommended to save your game before attempting to pluck each mushroom, as you cannot back out once you interact with it.
Additionally, at the second and third mushroom locations, you will need to defeat enemies before you can pick the mushrooms. If you break a mushroom, you can still complete the mission, but you won't receive the gold stamp.

Pluck mushrooms in order of pliability
To pick Magonga mushrooms in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players must first find them. To do this, players need to press and hold the Up button on the D-Pad to have their Chocobo sniff out the scent and follow the arrow to where the scent is. There are three mushrooms in the area, and once the player has found them, a minigame will start.
To pluck the mushrooms successfully, players will need to check their pliability first. The Magonga mushrooms should be plucked in order of pliability, with the portion that has the most give tugged first and the one with the least give tugged last. Players should select the side that bends the most and press the R2 button to tug. This process should be repeated for the second and third mushrooms. It is important to note that there is no universal solution as pliability is different for each player, and there is no set pattern for the portions to be plucked.
If the mushroom's durability reaches zero, the player will receive a broken mushroom, which will affect their star rating at the end of the quest. Therefore, it is recommended to save the game before attempting to pluck the mushrooms. While plucking the mushrooms perfectly does not affect the rewards, it will impact the star rating for the soup Cissnei will make.
After collecting the Magonga mushrooms, players can return to Gongaga Village and hand over the ingredients to Cissnei, who will then cook the mushroom soup with Aerith.

Defeat enemies at the second and third locations
To pick Magonga mushrooms in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players must first collect rock salts and then head to Magon Hill. Here, the player must use their Chocobo to track the scent of the mushrooms.
Once the player has reached the location of the mushrooms, they will need to defeat enemies at the second and third locations before they can pick the mushrooms. These enemies are described as "floating jellyfish enemies" and Gorgon Manes, which can dodge almost all attacks while in the air. To defeat the Gorgon Manes, players must wait until they trigger an ability, such as Petrifying Shot or Thundaga, and then hit them with a Fire spell. After this, players can barrage them with abilities that help build up stagger, and damage abilities should finish them off due to their low HP.
After defeating the enemies, the player can begin to pick the mushrooms. This involves a minigame where the player must tug on different sections of the mushroom in the correct order to pluck it successfully. The player must rotate the mushroom in various directions to check where it has the most "give" or malleability. The portion with the most give should be tugged first, and the one with the least give should be tugged last. The first mushroom has three portions, and each subsequent mushroom will have one more portion than the last. The order is different every time, and there is no universal solution or set pattern.
If the player fails to pick the mushroom correctly, they will receive a broken mushroom, which will affect their star rating at the end of the quest. Therefore, it is recommended to save the game before attempting to pluck each mushroom.
