Talk:Mycelium

It is faster to break with swords
I noticed that shovels were slow on breaking Mycelium, so I tried the other tools and swords seem to be the fastest. Should we change the tool from shovel to sword? Or is it a bug?

Moved to Natural?
Yes, I know Mycelium is a plant but isn't it also natural?Punch trees, get wood 23:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Mushrooms

 * "Mushrooms spread faster on mycelium than on other blocks, and mycelium is the only block on which mushrooms can stay when an adjacent block is updated despite a light level that is normally too high for the mushroom to remain."

Do mushrooms specifically spread faster on mycelium, or is this merely a side effect due to them lasting under more possible light conditions? — MK (c/t)

water converts mycelium to dirt
On single-player in 1.4.6 water flowing on mycelium changes mycelium blocks into dirt. I haven't seen any information about it. Is it a bug? Anyone else encountered this? 78.146.239.50 00:38, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Silk Touch Pick
I just got Mycelium with a silk touch pick. SMP, 1.4.7. If someone backs this up, I'll change the info on the page.

Hostile mobs
I've found 3 mushroom islands so far, spent multiple days on each, and never saw a single hostile mob. This article says they can spawn on mycelium. Are we sure of that? Equazcion 11:15, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
