Overview
Mirthshroom is a mushroom native to the Moonlit Forest. Described as a short-statured bamboo mushroom with a wide, lacy skirt and a striking blue-purple hue, it emits a special mist that soothes animals. Players can hand-feed Mirthshroom to creatures to boost their Happiness, making it one of the few forageable items with a direct animal care application.
Mirthshroom can be gathered by hand while exploring the Moonlit Forest or grown on farm plots using Mirthshroom Spores. Since it costs no stamina to pick up in the wild, players should collect every Mirthshroom they see during dungeon runs.
Where to Find
Mirthshroom grows throughout all zones of the Moonlit Forest. Nodes are easy to spot thanks to their glowing blue-purple caps. Specific zones where Mirthshroom appears include:
Evernight Forest (the first zone, near the entrance camp)
Mural Valley (abundant near blue mushroom clusters)
Darkwater Shore (scattered along the paths)
Grain Haven (in the upper reaches of the forest)
All mushroom nodes in the Moonlit Forest respawn daily, so Mirthshroom can be collected on every visit. Players can also grow Mirthshroom on their farm by processing 2 Mirthshroom into Mirthshroom Spores at the Grinder, then planting the spores on a crop plot.

The Mirthshroom Soup recipe is found in a chest inside the Moonlit Forest. It is one of the easiest recipes to prepare since the only ingredient is Mirthshroom, which is free to pick up.
