Mushroom Block

"You can even modify an existing huge mushroom into a house if you want to, by adding some walls and a door. They're the perfect size for a small outpost away from your main base, when you only need the essentials with you. And if anyone else finds it, they'll know that the person who lives there is a really, really fungi."

- Duncan Geere

Mushrooms are solid blocks that make up huge mushrooms.

Obtaining
Huge mushroom blocks are most quickly broken with an axe. They can only be retrieved with a Silk Touch tool. In Java Edition, mining the mushroom cap or stem yields a block with the cap or stem texture, respectively, on all sides. In Bedrock Edition, mining the stem yields a block with the stem texture on the sides and the pore texture on the top and bottom, while mining the cap yields a block with the texture of each face preserved. Because the block encodes each face by direction, these will usually not stack in inventory. For example, a cap block from the middle of the north side can be rotated to appear identical to a cap from the middle of the south side, but these will not stack together.

Additionally in Java Edition, if two similar mushroom blocks are placed next to each other and one of them is broken, the side of the other block that it was facing, will reveal the pore texture. This is because the side of these blocks will change texture if they're touching another block of the same type.

Huge mushrooms
Mushroom blocks generate as part of huge mushroom structures.
