Mooshroom

Mooshrooms are Cows spawned in the Mushroom Biome, covered with red mushroom growths. They have 2 mushrooms on their body and one on their head. The player can shear them for 3-5 red mushrooms, turning them back into normal cows. If killed, they drop the same items as normal cows. Using a bowl on them gives the player Mushroom Stew. Mooshrooms very rarely can be found outside of Mushroom Biomes.

Possible Bugs

 * On SMP, shearing a Mooshroom can result in creating both a server-side cow and a client-side cow, the latter of which can't be killed, much like the Monster Spawner client-side pig bug in earlier versions.

Trivia

 * The Mooshroom's name is a portmanteau of "moo," the sound Cows make, and "mushroom."
 * Mooshrooms cannot be milked with a bucket like a normal cow, but instead can be "milked" with a bowl for Mushroom Stew.
 * When a Mooshroom transforms into a normal Cow by shearing, it creates an effect similar to TNT explosions.
 * in the 1.9 preview mobs folder in minecraft.jar,mooshroom's are referred as redcows,most likely because of being mushroom red,much like how the blaze are reffered to as fire.
