Brown mushrooms are plants that were introduced in Minecraft's 0.1.0 update. They are a type of fungus that grows and spreads in poorly lit areas, such as overhangs, caves, or even under trees. They can also be found on top of fallen trees. In the Java Edition, brown mushrooms rarely generate because they cannot spawn underground. However, in the Bedrock Edition, fallen oak, birch, spruce, and jungle trees may have up to two brown mushrooms.

What You'll Learn
Found in dark areas
Mushrooms are a variety of fungus that grow and spread in dark areas. They generate as red or brown in colour, and can be small or huge. Brown mushrooms are generally found in dark areas such as overhangs, caves, or even under trees. They can also be found on top of fallen trees.
To obtain brown mushrooms, you can break the mushrooms that spawn in these dark areas, or break the blocks that make up giant brown mushrooms. Mining a huge mushroom block can yield up to two brown mushrooms. Brown mushrooms can also be bought from wandering traders for an emerald.
Mushrooms can be planted and grown in light levels below 13, as long as they are not directly underneath the sky. They can be planted on blocks with a full top surface, but not on the top surfaces of slabs or stairs. If planted on mycelium, podzol, or nylium, they can stay planted in any light level, even under direct light from the sky.
In the Bedrock Edition, fallen oak, birch, spruce, and jungle trees have 0-2 mushrooms generated on them. Shearing a brown mooshroom drops five brown mushrooms and turns it into a normal cow.

Spawn in caves
Brown mushrooms are a rare type of fungus in Minecraft that spawns in dark areas. They can be found in caves, with a higher likelihood of spawning in darker caves. Mushrooms tend to spawn near the entrance of a cave or in its lower parts. They can also be found in well-lit areas of a cave, such as near lava.
In addition to caves, brown mushrooms can be found in other dark locations, such as under trees in swamp biomes. These biomes are characterized by dark water puddles and lily pads, and brown mushrooms can often be spotted under the dark trees. The Nether is another location known for its abundance of brown mushrooms due to its well-lit environment.
It is worth noting that brown mushrooms do spawn in well-lit areas, but they are more commonly found in shaded or poorly lit areas with a light level of 12 or less. Each chunk has a 25% chance of generating brown mushroom patches in such conditions.
When exploring caves, players can increase their chances of finding brown mushrooms by focusing on the entrance, lower parts, and well-lit areas near lava. Additionally, exploring swamp biomes and the Nether can be fruitful for gathering brown mushrooms.

Spawn under trees
Mushrooms are a variety of fungus that grow and spread in dark areas. They generate as red or brown in colour and can be small or huge. Brown mushrooms are generally found in dark areas, including overhangs, caves, and under trees. They can also be found on top of fallen trees.
In the Bedrock Edition, fallen oak, birch, spruce, and jungle trees have up to two mushrooms generated on them. These can be sheared to drop five mushrooms of the corresponding colour, turning them into a normal cow.
Mushrooms can be instantly mined with anything. Mining a huge mushroom block can yield up to two mushrooms of the same colour. They can also be obtained by breaking the blocks that comprise giant brown mushrooms.
To plant and grow mushrooms, they require a full-top surface block with a light level below 13 and not directly underneath the sky. They can be planted and grown on mycelium, podzol, or nylium in any light level, including direct sunlight.

Spawn on fallen trees
Brown mushrooms are generally found in dark areas, such as overhangs, caves, or even under trees. Interestingly, they are also commonly found on top of fallen trees. In Minecraft, brown mushrooms are known to spawn on fallen oak, birch, spruce, and jungle trees.
Mushrooms are a variety of fungus that grows and spreads in dark areas. They can be instantly mined with anything, and mining a huge mushroom block can yield up to two mushrooms of the same color. Brown mushrooms specifically are known to emit a light level of 1.
Fallen trees provide an ideal habitat for certain types of mushrooms to grow. This is because the mushrooms are not growing directly on the tree, but rather on the mycelium, which is the "mushroom life force" that exists inside the tree. The mycelium waits for the right conditions, such as temperature, rain, and seasonality, to fruit and produce the mushrooms that we see.
Some mushrooms, like the crown coral mushroom, are very particular about where they grow and will only grow on dead and decaying logs. Other mushrooms, like the oyster mushroom, are more flexible and can be found on both living and injured trees.
While mushrooms on fallen trees may be enticing, especially for foragers, it is important to exercise caution. Not all mushrooms are edible, and consuming the wrong type can have dangerous consequences. It is always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to mushrooms found in the wild.

Can be planted
Brown mushrooms are plants that were introduced in Update 0.1.0. They are typically found in dark areas, such as overhangs, caves, or even beneath trees. They can also be found on top of fallen trees. Brown mushrooms can be planted and cultivated in various ways.
To plant brown mushrooms, specific conditions must be met. Firstly, they can be planted on blocks with a full top surface, such as dirt, grass, podzol, mycelium, or nylium, in light levels below 13 and not directly under the sky. If planted on mycelium, podzol, or nylium, they can remain in any light level, including direct sky exposure. Both brown and red mushrooms grow at the same rate, unaffected by the light level.
When using bone meal on a brown mushroom, it has the potential to grow into a huge mushroom of the same colour, provided there is adequate space of 7x7x8 blocks and it is planted on the appropriate block, such as grass, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, or moss block. Huge mushrooms can yield at least 20 mushrooms when harvested.
To farm huge mushrooms outdoors, you can utilise dirt, grass, podzol, mycelium, or nylium blocks. Podzol can be crafted by planting a giant spruce tree with four saplings and chopping it down once it has grown. Another outdoor farming method involves digging a 1x1 hole, filling it with water, and quickly planting a mushroom in the water before applying bone meal.
It is worth noting that placing blocks in the expected growth space of the mushroom can hinder its growth. However, taller mushrooms (11+ blocks) may occasionally grow when blocked by blocks in the normal growth space, although this is unreliable and requires a significant amount of bone meal.
