11Overview22Mushrooms are forageable items found primarily in the Moonlit Forest. They are one of the most useful resources in the game because they cost zero stamina to pick up, respawn daily, and feed into several valuable cooking recipes. A basic Mushroom variety also grows on the island surface, but the three specialized shroom types are exclusive to the forest.44Foraging mushrooms requires no tools and no profession rank. Walk up to a mushroom and interact with it to collect it instantly. Unlike mining or chopping, there is no stamina cost at all. This makes mushrooms the ultimate free resource during Moonlit Forest exploration runs.66Mushroom Types88Four mushroom varieties exist in Starsand Island. One grows on the island surface; the other three are exclusive to the Moonlit Forest.1010MushroomLocationDescriptionMushroomIsland surface (various locations)The basic mushroom found around Starsand Island. Common and easy to collect in bulk. Used in simple recipes like Grilled Mushrooms.Moondew ShroomMoonlit Forest (all zones)A forest-exclusive shroom that glows faintly. Used in Mushroom Soup and Grilled Mushroom Skewers.MirthshroomMoonlit Forest (all zones)A blue-tinted mushroom unique to the forest. Used in Mirthshroom Soup, which grants the Creamy Seeds food buff.Sunveil ShroomMoonlit Forest (all zones)Found alongside other forest mushrooms. Used in Grilled Mushroom Skewers and as a crafting ingredient for Phosand (Bomb Arrow component).1313A fifth forageable plant, the Twilight Succulent, also grows in the Moonlit Forest alongside mushrooms. While not technically a mushroom, it is collected the same way (no stamina cost) and is valued as an NPC gift.1414Where to Find Mushrooms1616Island Surface1818Regular Mushrooms spawn in grassy and wooded areas across Starsand Island. Check around trees, near rocks, and in shaded areas. They are not as densely packed as forest mushrooms, but they are accessible from Day 1 without needing to unlock the Moonlit Forest.2020Moonlit Forest2222All three specialized mushroom types (Moondew Shroom, Mirthshroom, and Sunveil Shroom) spawn throughout every zone of the Moonlit Forest. They appear along pathways, near camp sites, on cliff ledges, and around rock formations. The spawn density is high. On a single run through several zones, you can easily collect 20 to 30 mushrooms without going out of your way.2424Mushrooms respawn daily. If you are running low, just sleep and return the next day for a fresh set. Combine mushroom gathering with your regular mining runs to make each forest trip doubly productive.2626Cooking Recipes2828Mushrooms are used in several cooking recipes. Some of these are among the most efficient stamina foods in the game, especially in the early-to-mid progression when ingredients are limited.3030RecipeIngredientsEffectSell PriceGrilled Mushrooms1x Mushroom (surface)Basic stamina restorationLowMushroom Soup2x Moondew Shroom+45 Energy54 coinsMirthshroom Soup2x Mirthshroom+45 Energy, Creamy Seeds buff54 coinsGrilled Mushroom Skewers1x Sunveil Shroom, 1x Moondew Shroom, 1x Mirthshroom, 1x Fine Salt+86 Max HP166 coinsChicken Stewed With Mushrooms4x Fowl, 3x Mushroom, 1x Salt+105 Energy, Battle Spirit buff248 coins3232Key Recipe Highlights3333Mirthshroom Soup is one of the most important mushroom recipes because it grants the Creamy Seeds buff. This buff gives roughly a 5% chance per harvest to drop an Everlasting (Immortal) seed. Everlasting crops regrow indefinitely after each harvest, so farming Mirthshroom Soup pays dividends over the entire game. Eat it before every major harvest session.3535Grilled Mushroom Skewers require all three forest mushroom types plus Fine Salt. The +86 Max HP bonus makes them one of the best HP-boosting foods available, excellent for boss preparation in the Moonlit Forest.3737Chicken Stewed With Mushrooms uses surface Mushrooms (not forest ones) and grants the Battle Spirit buff, which increases combat damage. This is the go-to meal before boss fights against Crystalith, Glintortle, and the Ruin Guard.3939Other Uses4141NPC Gifts4343Cooked mushroom dishes make solid NPC gifts. Grilled Mushrooms and Grilled Mushroom Skewers are liked by several characters. Mushroom-based meals are easy to mass-produce since the ingredients are free to collect, making them a cost-effective gifting option.4545Crafting Material4747Sunveil Shrooms are used at the Charcoal Kiln to produce Phosand, a key ingredient for crafting Bomb Arrows at the Ammo Maker. Bomb Arrows are essential for the Glintortle and Ruin Guard boss fights. The recipe is Coal + Sunveil Shroom = Phosand. Always keep a stockpile of Sunveil Shrooms for arrow production.4949Selling for Profit5151Raw mushrooms have low sell value, but cooking them into Mushroom Soup or Grilled Mushroom Skewers significantly increases their worth. Mushroom Soup sells for 54 coins from two free ingredients. Grilled Mushroom Skewers sell for 166 coins. Since the mushrooms cost nothing to gather, the profit margin is effectively 100%. This makes mushroom cooking one of the best early-game income strategies.5353Reishi Mushroom (Farmable)5555The Reishi Mushroom is a separate crop that can be grown in a Planting Box on your farm. It is not a foraged item. Unlocked at Senior Farmer rank, Reishi Mushroom seeds cost 400 coins and take 5 days 18 hours to grow. Reishi Mushroom grows in Spring and Autumn. Despite the name, it functions as a planted crop and follows normal farming rules (requires watering, has a growth timer).5757Tips5959TipDetailsGrab every mushroom you seeThey cost zero stamina, respawn daily, and have multiple high-value uses. There is never a reason to walk past one.Prioritize MirthshroomsThe Creamy Seeds buff from Mirthshroom Soup is one of the most valuable buffs in the game. Stockpile Mirthshrooms and cook them in batches.Keep Sunveil Shrooms for PhosandDo not sell or cook all your Sunveil Shrooms. You need them for Bomb Arrow production, which is essential for Moonlit Forest boss fights.Cook in bulkSince cooking takes real in-game time, prepare 10+ servings of Mushroom Soup or Mirthshroom Soup at once using multiple Campfires running in parallel.Combine foraging with mining runsWhen you teleport to a Moonweaver camp for a mining run, collect all nearby mushrooms along the way. You will naturally accumulate large quantities without dedicating separate trips to foraging.Mushroom Soup is great early-game foodAt +45 Energy from two free ingredients, it is one of the most stamina-efficient meals available before you have a developed farm.
