Minecraft:Red Mushroom

A red mushroom is a variety of fungus that grows and spreads in dark areas. Mushrooms can generate small or huge in size.

Obtaining

Breaking

Red mushrooms can be instantly mined with any tool, including by hand. Mining a red huge Minecraft:mushroom block drops up to 2 red mushrooms. Minecraft:Fortune does not affect the drop rate of mushrooms in any form.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

A red mushroom also breaks instantly and drops as an item if:

• the block below it is moved or destroyed
• a Minecraft:fluid flows over it
• a block next to it changes state, but only when it is not on Minecraft:podzol, Minecraft:mycelium, or Minecraft:nylium and light level is 13 or higher

Natural generation

Red mushrooms naturally generate in poorly lit areas (Minecraft:light level of 12 or less). If this condition is met, each Minecraft:chunk has a Template:Frac (12.5%) chance to generate red mushrooms in the form of Minecraft:random patches.<ref>Template:IN, they rarely generate because they cannot generate underground due to Template:Bug.</ref>

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

Template:IN, they are commonly found in patches on the Minecraft:Nether roof, and are the only blocks that can generate there.

Minecraft:Witch huts have a Minecraft:flower pot with a red mushroom inside. Mushrooms also generate inside "mushroom farm" rooms in Minecraft:woodland mansions.

Red mushrooms planted on Minecraft:podzol can also be found around Minecraft:bogged and Minecraft:cave spider Minecraft:trial spawners in Minecraft:trial chambers.

Fallen trees

Minecraft:Fallen trees can have up to 2 mushrooms generated on them.

Huge mushrooms

Mining a red Minecraft:huge mushroom has a chance of dropping red mushrooms for each block mined.

Mob loot

Minecraft:Shearing a red Minecraft:mooshroom drops 5 red mushrooms and permanently turns it into a normal Minecraft:cow.

Shearing a Minecraft:bogged drops 2 mushrooms, both of which have a chance to be red.

An Minecraft:enderman holding a red mushroom drops it upon death.

Template:IN, Minecraft:wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Minecraft:Looting) to drop 3 red mushrooms when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an Minecraft:emerald.

Usage

Planting

Template:Main Red mushrooms can be planted and grown on blocks that have a full top surface in Minecraft:light levels below 13 and not directly underneath the sky, unless on Minecraft:podzol, Minecraft:mycelium, or Minecraft:nylium.

Mob food

Red mushrooms can be used to heal or tempt Minecraft:zombie horses.

Huge mushrooms

Template:Main When Minecraft:bone meal is applied to a red mushroom, the mushroom has a chance to grow into a red Minecraft:huge mushroom, provided that it is on a proper block (Minecraft:grass block, Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:coarse dirt, Minecraft:rooted dirt, Minecraft:mud, Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots, Minecraft:moss block, or Minecraft:pale moss block at a light level of 12 or below; on Minecraft:podzol, Minecraft:mycelium or Minecraft:nylium at any light level) and is free of Minecraft:solid blocks within 5 blocks directly above the mushroom.

Spread

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

Decoration

Red mushrooms can be planted in a Minecraft:flower pot.

Composting

Placing a mushroom into a Minecraft:composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
