Revision 2

Overview

Moondew Shroom is a large, vibrant blue mushroom found exclusively in the Moonlit Forest. Its cap is described as wide and full as the moon, and it is said to taste as fresh and dewy as moonlight itself, which is how it earned its name. Unlike the common Mushroom found on the surface of Starsand Island, Moondew Shroom only grows in the underground dungeon.

Moondew Shroom can be gathered by hand while exploring the Moonlit Forest or grown on farm plots using Moondew Shroom Spores. It is a versatile ingredient with applications in cooking, bait crafting, and fertilizer production.

Where to Find

Moondew Shroom grows in all zones of the Moonlit Forest, making it one of the more common forageable materials in the dungeon. Look for its distinctive blue glow along pathways and near camps. Key locations include:

• Evernight Forest (glowing mushroom clusters near the first camp)

• Mural Valley (scattered throughout the zone)

• Moonlight Meadow (the final zone before the Ruin Guard boss)

All mushroom nodes respawn daily. Players can also produce Moondew Shroom Spores by processing 2 Moondew Shroom at the Grinder, then planting the spores to grow the mushroom on their farm.

Cooking Recipes

Mushroom Soup is a reliable early-game stamina food. Since Moondew Shroom is free to pick up in the Moonlit Forest, this recipe essentially provides free energy restoration for players willing to forage.

• Growing Moondew Shroom on your farm via spores is more convenient than repeated dungeon trips, especially once you unlock higher-tier fertilizer recipes.
