Mushrooms are a plant that can be found above and below ground in the world of Minecraft. They’re useful as a food item for making Stew or Rabbit Stew, but did you know there’s more to them than that?
The Suspicious Stew that can be made with Mushrooms can have plenty of benefits and Mushrooms are one of the many components in Potion brewing.
But it isn’t always easy finding Mushrooms on the surface. Luckily for us, just like most other foodstuffs, it is possible to grow your own! In this guide, I’m going to show you how to make a Mushroom farm in Minecraft.

Farming methods[]
This method involves breeding mooshroom cows or striking Mooshroom cows with lightning, and then shearing them for their respective mushroom type. 5 mushrooms are dropped when sheared. This is a cheap and quick method to obtain large quantities of mushrooms in quick succession.
Mooshrooms[]
Shearing a mooshroom drops 5 of its respective mushrooms and convert it into the normal cow. Every ~5 minutes mooshrooms can enter love mode and make a baby, which can replace any adults that have been sheared.
Huge mushroom farming[]
The basic of huge mushroom farming involves a 7x7x8 space and suitable ground. If you are outdoors, you can plant the mushroom using podzol, mycelium, or nylium. In the overworld, podzol is more easily available. To make podzol, plant a giant spruce tree with four saplings, and wait for it to grow. When it grows up, chop the tree down and use the newly formed podzol to plant a mushroom and bone meal it up. Planting consumes the underlying block, so you must occasionally regenerate by planting giant spruce again. (Mycelium can spread to the dirt, so no manual work is required.)
Another way to farm mushroom outside relies on timing: dig a 1×1 hole where you want your farm to be. Place water in the 1×1 hole. Then, plant a mushroom in the water and use bone meal on it quickly before the mushroom unplants.
In the nether, nylium is a good choice for growing huge mushrooms on. Note that you can spread nylium to adjacent netherrack blocks by using bone meal on the netherrack.
The extent of automation possible with mushroom farms is close to that of tree farms. You might be able to get some ideas from these harvesters. The bone meal input may require farming too.
