Mooshroom

Mooshrooms are cow-like mobs that spawn in the Mushroom Biome. They are covered with red mushroom growths and have 2 mushrooms on their body and one on their head.

Uses
Mooshrooms can be sheared for 2-5 red mushrooms, which turns them back into normal cows. If killed, they drop leather and raw beef like normal cows do. Mooshrooms can be milked with a bucket like a normal cow, and can be "milked" with an empty bowl to obtain a bowl of Mushroom Stew.

Behavior
Mooshrooms roam the Overworld [[Biomes#Mushroom f on purpose unless pushed or attacked. Upon reloading a map a Mooshroom has a chance to respawn on the other side of a fence to which it started.

Breeding
All passive mobs (Excluding squids and villagers) can be bred using Wheat. Breeding a mooshroom with another mooshroom will make a baby mooshroom, but breeding a regular cow with a mooshroom may make a regular cow or a mooshroom, which is chosen randomly.

History
Mooshrooms were added in 1.0.0 and were introduced in the Beta 1.9 Pre-release 1 update. When first introduced, Mooshrooms solely inhabited the Mushroom biome, but since Beta 1.9 Pre-release 4 may spawn in other biomes as well. They also could not be milked with a bucket like regular cows can, but this was fixed in later updates.

Bugs

 * On SMP when a Mooshroom is sheared, a server-side cow spawns, as well as a client-side cow that spawns for the player who sheared the Mooshroom. The same thing also happens to the dropped resources as a result of shearing.
 * As of 1.9 Pre-release 5, in SMP when a baby mooshroom is sheared, it turns into two normal cows and the two parent mooshrooms stop following them.
 * When a Mooshroom is sheared after it has already bred once, it can be bred again immediately.
 * Mooshrooms may spawn in non-mushroom biomes as well. It is currently unknown whether this is a bug or not.
 * In 1.0.0, right clicking on a Mooshroom with more than one bowl equipped will turn the whole stack into just one bowl of Mushroom Stew.

Trivia

 * The Mooshroom's name is a portmanteau of "moo," the sound Cows make, and "mushroom."
 * In the Beta 1.9 Pre-release mobs folder in the minecraft.jar, Mooshroom's are referred to as redcows, most likely because their texture is mainly a red color shift of the cow texture. Also, Mooshrooms are referred to as mushroomcows as its entity ID.
 * When a Mooshroom transforms into a normal Cow by shearing, it emits smoke particles.
 * There are only red mushrooms on mooshrooms, not brown ones.
 * When sheared, mooshrooms drop red mushrooms and not brown mushrooms but one can "milk" mooshroom with a bowl to obtain mushroom stew. (Which needs both red mushroom and brown mushrooms.)
 * Mooshrooms are the most resourceful mob in Minecraft: Mooshrooms can be "milked" with a bowl for mushroom stew and also can be milked with a Bucket for Milk; shearing them drops 2-5 red mushrooms, which changes them back into a normal cow that can be milked with a bucket; the Milk is used for making cake; and when you kill the cow it can drop 1-3 pieces of raw beef and 0-2 pieces of leather. This is a total of at least 7/5 items that can be directly or indirectly obtained from Mooshrooms/Cows respectively.
