Resource Mushrooms
Resource mushrooms are the core of the mod. Each one produces fragments of a vanilla resource. There are 33 built in, and modpack authors can add more (see Modpack & custom integration).
- Spore Nexus Altar: every resource mushroom has an Altar recipe. It needs a fungus (Nexus, Great, Mineral, ...) plus 8 ingredients. See Machines.
- Mutation: most mushrooms can also appear by mutation from two parents, see Mutations.
The 6 base mushrooms (Dirt, Gravel, Ice, Netherrack, Sand, Stone) have no mutation: they can only be made at the Altar.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Soil | Must be planted on a spore soil: vanilla Mycelium, Fertilized, Fungal, Infernal or Ethereal Mycelium. |
| Light | The mushroom cannot be placed, and stops growing, when the light level at its position is 11 or more. Sky light counts at any time of day, so grow underground or under a roof. It resumes when it is dark enough again. |
| Stages | 9 growth ages, shown with 3 different sizes. The mushroom is ready when it has reached its biggest size. |
| Speed | Multiplied by the soil and by the best nearby growth accelerator. See below. |
| Bone meal | Does not work on resource mushrooms. |
The "Full growth" column below is the time from planting to ready, at normal speed (x1, on plain Mycelium, no accelerator). Each growth step has a small random variation, so times are approximate. Jade shows the remaining time for the mushroom you are looking at.
Soil and accelerator multiply each other. Only the best accelerator in range applies to a given mushroom: accelerators do not stack with each other.
| Soil | Speed |
|---|---|
| Mycelium (vanilla) | x1 |
| Fertilized Mycelium | x1.25 |
| Fungal Mycelium | x1.5 |
| Infernal Mycelium | x1.75 |
| Ethereal Mycelium | x2 |
| Accelerator | Speed | Range (cube around the accelerator) |
|---|---|---|
| Growth Accelerator | x1.25 | 3x3x3 |
| Fungal Growth Accelerator | x1.5 | 5x5x5 |
| Infernal Growth Accelerator | x1.75 | 7x7x7 |
| Ethereal Growth Accelerator | x2 | 9x9x9 |
The best possible combination is x4 (Ethereal soil and Ethereal accelerator).
Right-click a fully grown mushroom (or let a Mushroom Harvester do it). The mushroom goes back to its first stage and starts growing again. Each harvest gives:
| Drop | Amount | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Fragments of the resource | 1 to 3 | 100% |
| Fungal Essence | 1 to 2 | 45% |
| Extra drop (only for some mushrooms, see the table) | 1 | 15% |
If you break the mushroom block instead of harvesting it, you get the mushroom block back.
(SEE JEI)
Fragments are crafted into the real resource with 4 fragments in a 2x2 square. The "4 fragments craft" column gives the result. A few fragments have extra recipes (for example Stone Fragments also make Stone Bricks, Ice Fragments with a bucket make a Water Bucket, Moss Fragments make Moss Carpet).
*Full growth at x1 speed. "Altar fungus" is the fungus used in the Altar recipe. Tier is the depth in the mutation tree (tier 1 mushrooms are the starting points).
