Stardew Valley, on the other hand, is so charmingly detailed, with every shift of season and the spread of seasonally placed forage-able meant for a seasonal player.
With the coming of Fall, it's such a season that farmers should harvest their crops before the frosty Winter sets in.
The fall bountiful harvest among the common mushrooms is plentiful, and one can only look forward to it.
This guide will help you find and utilise these versatile fungi to enhance your farming experience.
Classifying Common Mushrooms
Common mushrooms are reasonably identifiable by their brownish look. They have a unique texture with a slightly nutty flavour.
In Stardew Valley, they are used by the player to eat and give the player slight energy and health, or they can be put in a wide array of cooking or crafting recipes.
Locations to Find Common Mushrooms
Foraging in FallForaging is the primary method of obtaining Common Mushrooms in Stardew Valley. Here are the key locations and the chances of finding these mushrooms during Fall:
- Cindersap Forest: 50%
- Secret Woods: 46%
- The Mountain: 24%
- The Backwoods: 24%
- Forest Farm Map: 25%
Additionally, Common Mushrooms can be found in the Mushroom Cave on Ginger Island, north of the Dig Site. This cave spawns random mushrooms daily, providing a steady supply.
Seasonal Variations
While Fall is the prime season for Common Mushrooms, they can also be found in other seasons:
- Spring: 16% chance in the Secret Woods.
- Summer: 25% chance on the Forest Farm map.
Players who have chosen the Gatherer profession have a 20% chance of receiving a double harvest of foraged items. Those in the botanist profession are guaranteed to collect forageables of the highest quality.
Growing Common Mushrooms on the Farm
Using Fall Wild SeedsAnother way to obtain Common Mushrooms is through farming; these will not be sold in Pierre's General Store or JojaMart. However, they can be found at the Traveling Cart occasionally, selling at prices of 135 to 1,000 gold.
The more reliable way is to craft Fall Wild Seeds using the "Wild Seeds (Fa)" crafting recipe, available at Foraging Level 6. Ingredients :
- 1 Blackberry]
- 1 Common Mushroom
- 1 Hazelnut
- 1 Wild Plum
Planting and Harvesting
Plant Fall Wild Seeds, which grow in seven days. Fully-grown plants then have an equal chance of producing either Common Mushroom, Blackberry, Hazelnut, or Wild Plum to ensure a diverse harvest.
Tapping Mushroom Trees
Using TappersTap Mushrooms are generated by Mushroom Trees and can yield three main types: Common Mushroom, Red Mushroom, and Purple Mushroom. They are produced during every season except Winter.
- Spring and Summer: Common Mushrooms
- Fall: Red Mushrooms
It takes two nights in Spring or Summer or one night in Fall for Mushroom Trees to yield mushrooms. Note that using a Heavy Tapper does not accelerate the process.
The Farm Cave Option
Choosing the Mushroom CaveOnce you have managed 25,000 gold, Demetrius, the remarkable scientist in town, presents you with an exciting dilemma: you can use your farm cave to grow mushrooms or convert it into a house for fruit bats.
Opting for the mushroom option will give you six boxes so that each day, there is a chance of different mushrooms developing in the cave. This is an excellent option if you want to grow Common Mushrooms, with a 69.8% chance per day of them spawning in the cave.
