5 pieces of mushroom will grow around Hardwood and Pine (Cedar) trees each day during Mushrooming Season. Up to 30 pieces of mushroom can appear on your island at a time.

We recommend planting trees close to each other so you can collect them easily.

How Close Can You Plant Trees?

The higher your island rating is, the higher the chances of expensive mushrooms appearing.

Mushrooms disappear after the Mushrooming 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.
