A '''mushroom''' is a variety of fungus that grows and spreads in dark areas. Mushrooms generate as red or brown in color, and small or [[Huge mushroom|huge]] in size.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Mushrooms can be [[instant mining|instantly mined]] with any tool, including punching it. Mining a huge [[mushroom block]] drops up to 2 mushrooms of the same color. [[Fortune]] does not affect the drop rate of mushrooms in any form.<ref>{{bug|MC-156657|||Invalid}}</ref>

A mushroom also breaks instantly and drops as an item if:
* the block below it is moved or destroyed
* a [[fluid]] flows over it
* a block next to it changes state, but only when it is ''not'' on [[podzol]], [[mycelium]], or [[nylium]] and light level is 13 or higher
{{breaking row|Mushrooms|horizontal=1}}

=== Natural generation ===
Mushrooms naturally generate in poorly lit areas ([[light level]] of 12 or less). If this condition is met, each [[chunk]] has {{frac|1|8}} (12.5%) chance to generate red mushroom and {{frac|1|4}} (25.0%) chance to generate brown mushroom, in the form of [[random patch]]es.<ref>{{IN|java}}, they rarely generate because they cannot generate underground due to {{bug|MC-244162}}.</ref>

Mushrooms also generate on the surface of a [[swamp]], [[old growth spruce taiga]], [[old growth pine taiga]], or [[mushroom fields]] biome, along with anywhere in [[the Nether]]. Unlike plants, they are able to generate on top of nearly any block type.

{{IN|java}}, they are commonly found in patches on the [[bedrock]] ceiling of the Nether, and are the only blocks that can generate there. 

[[Witch hut]]s have a [[flower pot]] with a red mushroom inside. Mushrooms also generate inside "mushroom farm" rooms in [[woodland mansion]]s. Red mushrooms planted on [[podzol]] can also be found around [[bogged]] and [[cave spider]] [[trial spawner]]s in [[trial chambers]]. 

==== Fallen trees ====
{{IN|bedrock}}, fallen oak, birch, spruce, and jungle trees can have up to 2 mushrooms generated on them.

=== Huge mushrooms ===
Mining a [[huge mushroom]] of either color has a chance of dropping a mushroom of the same color, for each block mined.

{{block distribution}}

=== Mob loot ===
[[Shear]]ing a red or brown [[mooshroom]] drops 5 mushrooms of the corresponding color and turns it into a normal [[cow]].

Shearing a [[bogged]] drops 2 mushrooms, which could be 2 brown mushrooms, 2 red mushrooms or one of each.

An [[enderman]] holding a mushroom drops it upon death.

=== Generated loot ===
{{LootChestItem|brown-mushroom}}

=== Trading ===
Mushrooms can be bought from a [[wandering trader]] for an [[emerald]].

== Usage ==
Mushrooms can be planted and grown on blocks that have a full top surface in [[light]] levels below 13 and not directly underneath the sky. They cannot be planted on the top surfaces of [[slab]]s or [[stairs]].<ref>{{bug|MC-146825}}</ref> For more information, see [[Opacity/Placement]]. If planted on [[mycelium]], [[podzol]] or [[nylium]], they can stay planted in any light level, including be planted and remain under light from sky above. Both brown and red mushrooms grow at the same rate regardless of the light level.<ref name="Fully-Automated Tests of Mushroom Growth at Different Light Levels Using BUD Switch Harvester">http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ALkf-b7MbBI&t=864s</ref><ref name="Large scale automated test with additional info">{{ytl|J7AmGnpMCng}}</ref>

=== Huge mushrooms ===
When [[bone meal]] is applied to a mushroom, the mushroom has a chance to grow into a [[huge mushroom]] of the same color, provided that it is on a proper block ([[grass block]], [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]] or [[moss block]] at a light level of 12 or below; on [[podzol]], [[mycelium]] or [[nylium]] at any light level) and has enough space (7×7×8).

=== Spread ===
{{See also|Tutorials/Mushroom farming}}

When receiving a [[random tick]], a mushroom has a 4% chance of spreading to a nearby block (including even above and below diagonally) if there are fewer than five mushrooms of the same type in a 9×9×3 volume around the original mushroom.

=== Light source ===
Brown mushrooms emit a barely visible [[light level]] of 1.<ref>{{bug|MC-832|||WAI}}</ref> However, they do not emit light in flower pots.<ref>{{bug|MC-200055}}</ref>

=== Decoration ===
Either type of mushroom can be planted in a [[flower pot]].

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage|Red Mushroom,Brown Mushroom}}

=== Composting ===
Placing a mushroom into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

I think Notch added it because it looks cool. The brown mushroom is a penny bun and is definitely edible. We currently aren't planning to change them, but we'll see in the future.}}</ref>
