Overview
Oakwood Mushroom is a hearty fungus with a deep aroma, broad brown cap, and stout stem. It is one of three mushroom species that can be foraged in Crimson Desert. Oakwood Mushrooms prefer humid lowland forests and occasionally appear on southern hillsides, with their largest concentrations found throughout the Hernand region.

Where to Find
Oakwood Mushrooms grow in the temperate forests around Hernand. Their broad brown caps stand out against the forest floor, especially under oak canopies and near damp soil.
Hernand Lowland Forests: The primary foraging zone. Woods south and east of Hernand City contain numerous mushroom clusters along shaded paths.
Southern Pailune Hillsides: A less reliable but confirmed location. Check hillside clearings where humidity collects.
General Tip: Oakwood Mushrooms are the first mushroom species most players encounter, since the early game is centered around Hernand.
Uses
Cooking
Oakwood Mushrooms serve as a cooking ingredient for mushroom-based dishes. The existing recipe Oakwood Mushroom Tea specifically calls for this variety. Their hearty texture makes them a popular choice for soups, roasts, and stews prepared at cooking stations.
Alchemy
In alchemy, Oakwood Mushrooms produce stamina restoration elixirs. The effect is identical to that of Coral Mushrooms and Pine Mushrooms, so the choice depends on regional availability rather than potency.
Tips
Since Hernand is the starting region, Oakwood Mushrooms are typically the first mushrooms you will collect. Gather them early to have stamina restoration materials on hand for alchemy.
Keep a supply for brewing Oakwood Mushroom Tea, which provides useful sustain during extended exploration sessions.
Mushroom foraging nodes respawn, so revisit known spots whenever you pass through the Hernand forests on other errands.
