Can you really not plant brown mushrooms? I would test it, but i dont find any right now Ivorforce 17:02, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

I found several brown mushrooms growing on the top of a tree. Kranchan 2:13AM, 28 July 2010 (EST)


 * Maybe you should be posting that in the bugs section then? :) 08:20, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

I also have found a number of mushrooms growing on trees (in daylight) in the current Alpha version. Yes, it was on Singleplayer, no hax, and I took a screenshot. Turtleey 04:55, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

I was just recently mining and found several brown mushrooms on rocks in caves. Mooingboog 15:28, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it's been like that since... well, since mushrooms were added to Minecraft? 20:45, 7 November 2010 (CST)

I am currently going to try and "farm" mushrooms for the next few hours, I'm letting Minecraft sit in the background. I will be checking on it every half an hour to and hour, and posting updates.

http://oi52.tinypic.com/24ljuas.jpg This is my current set-up I will destroy the torch and block I am currently on and get the one to my right and click on a crafting bench.

I have 4 types of blocks to test, all in the least amount of light possible, with both types of mushrooms, 4 of each on each different block.


 * Tree leaves
 * Tree
 * Rock
 * Grass on Dirt

I may try this with a bigger room, and maybe separate the block types and mushroom types further if I get certain results that I am expecting.

 * Did you put water nearby? I don't think it would have any effect, but it's worth a try. PurpleKiwi 22:29, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Pigs Eating Mushrooms
I'm pretty sure they don't. I planted a patch of eight brown and eight spotted mushrooms (Alpha) in a enclosure full of pigs, and waited around until the pigs disappeared. They didn't eat any mushrooms. I then took a new batch of pigs and punched them all a few times so they would maybe eat mushrooms to regain health, but they didn't eat any. I'm removing the warning about pigs eating mushrooms. I'm also fairly sure sheep don't eat grass in Alpha either. At least, I have punched them in the interests of harvesting wool and never observed one regrow.JohnnyMadhouse 16:35, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

They didn't in Alpha, but in Survival Test pigs would each mushrooms and sheep grass. This information should be re-added and be specific enoguh that the user understands it is survival test and not alpha/beta. I would do it myself, but I don't have enough time right now.

Anybody thought of a multilayered forest for farming?
Basically, what one would do is make a large forest (say... 10 trees by 10 trees, destroying any large trees and mowing the top layers of the remaining trees so that they are level). Then, removing the top block from each (some would be the log block, others (depending on the heights) would be the leaf block over the log block) and replacing that block with dirt. Plant a sapling there, then repeat for one more layer (to add more darkness)

Dark on the bottom (dirt) layer, so shrooms shouldn't pop out of the ground, and should be decently dark on the second layer. This would also take advantage of the leaf glitch (say you dug pillars through at regular intervals to allow sunlight in, to help discourage mobs from hiding in the forest during the day), as the mushrooms should have plenty of darkness in the night to spawn on the leaves... Hmm, in fact, I'll test this once I commence planting the mega forest in my file, and get back to you with results -Icalasari 01:55, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Growth Rules
I dont know em and i want to. Auto? Nearby? obviously not planting...

Stackable?
I notice there's nothing in the article about weather or not mushrooms can be stacked. I believe they can, so that should be added.

Since shrooms can stack, it is actually feasible to carry a stack of red, a stack of brown and a stack of bowls(since they stack) in your inventory with a workbench and it would be nearly as effective as carrying a stack of wheat, although not quite as efficient. I only mention this because Coestar found a whole bunch of mushrooms in his "Coe's Quest" lets play :)
