Where Do Rare Mushrooms Appear

Around Trees During Mushrooming Season

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

You can find Rare Mushrooms buried near trees.

Plant Trees Close to Each Other

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?

Rare mushrooms are likely to appear more if you have a high island rating
