Podzol

Podzol is a dirt-type variant block.

Obtaining
Podzol can be collected using any tool, but the shovel is the quickest. Can only be obtained using a tool with silk touch, or it will drop dirt instead.

Natural generation
Podzol generates only in Mega Taiga biomes.

Usage
Podzol allows mushrooms to be placed on it no matter the light level, allowing the growing of huge mushrooms, like mycelium. Saplings, all kind of flowers and sugar canes can be placed on it normally.

Data values
Podzol has only one possible tile name:, which it shares with Dirt. The tile data field defines which block is displayed.

Trivia

 * Unlike other similar blocks, podzol will never spread to dirt blocks, nor will it turn into dirt if a solid block is placed on top of it, no matter how long the block remains on top of it. This is because podzol is a type of soil, and has the same Block ID as dirt, just a different data value.
 * Neither grass nor mycelium can grow on podzol.
 * Podzol can be picked up by Endermen.
