When Do Mushrooms Appear

Mushrooms Appear During the Mushroom Season

Mushrooms will start to appear during the last month of Fall. This is known as Mushroom Season, which occurs in November for Northern Hemisphere players and May for Southern Hemisphere players.

How to Get Mushrooms Fast

Plant Trees Close to Each Other

5 pieces of mushroom will grow around Hardwood and Pine (Cedar) trees each day during Mushrooming Season. We recommend planting trees close to each other so you can collect them easily.

How Close Can You Plant Trees?

Consider cutting down trees if there is too much

If you have a lot of trees scattered around your island, you might want to consider decreasing its number, as it may take you time to look for the 5 pieces of mushroom each day.

Time-Travel and Collect

Mushrooms will not increase unless you have the daily broadcast

Up to 30 mushrooms can appear on your island at a time, but mushrooms will not appear for the day unless you have the daily island-wide broadcast, even if you skip 2 days or more.

Be sure to skip one day at a time, listen to the broadcast, and save. You can do this for 6 days, and then collect the 30 mushrooms.

Time Traveling Guide

Mushrooms disappear after Mushroom Season

Once the new month starts at 5 AM (December for Northern Hemisphere, and June for Southern Hemisphere), all grown mushrooms around the island will be gone.

However, mushrooms that you have picked up and dropped will not disappear.

Mushroom Growth Guide

Mushrooms Do Not Increase by Breeding

Unlike flowers, mushrooms do not increase in number by breeding. They will naturally grow around trees in a fixed number each day.

5 Pieces of Mushroom Grow Around Trees and Stumps Each Day

Each day, 5 pieces of mushroom will grow around your island. You can find them around Hardwood or Pine (Cedar) Trees, or stumps.

One mushroom, in particular, called Rare Mushroom, can be found buried around trees.

Up to 30 Pieces of Mushroom Can Appear On Your Island at a Time

The max number of mushrooms that can appear on your island at a time is 30. Take note that no more mushrooms will appear after this until you pick them up, even if you skip the time.

Mushrooms Do Not Grow Around Fruit Trees and Bamboo

Please take note that mushrooms do not grow around Fruit and Bamboo trees.

Mushrooms Do Not Grow on Mystery Islands

Mushrooms do not grow on Mystery Islands, so it is not necessary to go on a Mystery Island tour to get some mushrooms.

Mushroom Appearance Rates Depend on Your Island Rating

In our tests, the higher your island's rating, the higher the chances of getting Elegant Mushrooms and Rare Mushrooms.

Eat Them for a Temporary Strength Boost

Like fruits, you can eat mushrooms for a temporary boost of strength. This allows you to dig up trees and break rocks.
