Mooshroom

Mooshrooms are mushroom-covered variants of cows exclusive to the mushroom fields biome.

Java Edition
Red mooshrooms can spawn on mycelium blocks in mushroom fields biomes in herds of 4–8, when the light level is 9 or higher. They do not naturally spawn in any other biome. A red mooshroom transforms into a brown mooshroom (and vice versa) when it is struck by lightning.

Bedrock Edition
Mooshrooms spawn at light level 7 or above. 5% of them spawn as babys. Brown mooshrooms are not available.

Breeding
A pair of mooshrooms can breed after being given wheat. A mooshroom cannot be bred with a cow, even one that used to be a mooshroom.

Feeding wheat to a baby mooshroom shortens its growing time by 10% of the remaining time.

Baby mooshrooms do not have mushrooms on their backs. Mushrooms appear once the baby grows to an adult.

Breeding two red mooshrooms has a $1/1024$ chance to spawn a brown baby variant, and vice versa.

Drops
When an adult cow is killed, it drops:
 * 0–2 . The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III.
 * 1–3 ( if killed while on fire). The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1-6 with Looting III.
 * 1–3 experience (when killed by a player or tamed wolf)

Shearing a mooshroom drops 5 corresponding mushrooms and turn the mooshroom into a normal cow, emitting an explosion particle. The mushrooms don't grow back.

Mooshrooms can be with bowls to give mushroom stew.

When a flower is used on a brown mooshroom, the brown mooshroom produces a suspicious stew related to that flower the next time it is with a bowl. The mooshroom returns to producing mushroom stew afterwards when milked.

Like other baby animals, killing a baby mooshroom yields no items or experience.

Behavior
Mooshrooms tend to walk around slowly and aimlessly, huffing and mooing occasionally. They avoid danger such as cliffs, fire or lava, but make no attempt to stay out of water.

A mooshroom follows a player holding wheat.

Red mooshrooms convert to brown mooshrooms, and brown convert to red, when they are struck by lightning.

Data values
Mooshrooms have entity data associated with them that contain various properties of the mob.

Trivia

 * The name "Mooshroom" is a portmanteau for "moo" (which is an onomatopoeia of the sound a cow makes) and "mushroom".
 * In Legacy Console Edition, mooshrooms and cows have different spawn limits. This means if the player has reached their cow limit, they cannot shear a mooshroom, getting a error message when trying.
 * As of 1.14, mooshrooms are the fourth mob in the game that are directly affected by being struck by lightning.
