A brown mushroom is a variety of fungus that grows and spreads in dark areas. Brown mushrooms can generate small or huge in size.

Obtaining

Breaking

Brown mushrooms can be instantly mined with any tool, including by hand. Mining a brown huge mushroom block drops up to 2 brown mushrooms. Fortune does not affect the drop rate of mushrooms in any form.[1]

A brown mushroom also breaks instantly and drops as an item if:

  • the block below it is moved or destroyed
  • a fluid flows over it
  • a block next to it changes state, but only when it is not on podzol, mycelium, or nylium and light level is 13 or higher

  • correct tool, drops the block itself
  • italicized can be instant mined

Natural generation

Brown mushrooms naturally generate in poorly lit areas (light level of 12 or less). If this condition is met, each chunk has a 1⁄4 (25.0%) chance to generate brown mushrooms in the form of random patches.[2]

Brown mushrooms also generate on the surface of a swamp, old growth spruce taiga, old growth pine taiga, or mushroom fields biome, along with anywhere in the Nether. Unlike plants, they are able to generate on top of nearly any block type.

In Java Edition, brown mushrooms are commonly found in patches on the Nether roof, and alongside red mushrooms are the only blocks that can generate there.

Brown mushrooms also generate inside "mushroom farm" rooms in woodland mansions.

Fallen trees

Fallen trees can have up to 2 mushrooms generated on them.

Huge mushrooms

Mining a brown huge mushroom has a chance of dropping brown mushrooms for each block mined.

Mob loot

Shearing a brown mooshroom drops 5 brown mushrooms and permanently turns it into a normal cow.

Shearing a bogged drops 2 mushrooms, both of which can be brown.

An enderman holding a brown mushroom drops it upon death.

Usage

Planting

Main article: Mushroom § Planting

Brown mushrooms can be planted and grown on blocks that have a full top surface in light levels below 13 and not directly underneath the sky, unless on podzol, mycelium, or nylium.

Huge mushrooms

Main article: Huge mushroom § Growth

When bone meal is applied to a brown mushroom, the mushroom has a chance to grow into a brown huge mushroom, provided that it is on a proper block (grass block, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, mud, muddy mangrove roots, moss block, or pale moss block at a light level of 12 or below; on podzol, mycelium or nylium at any light level) and is free of solid blocks within 5 blocks directly above the mushroom.

Spread

See also: Tutorials/Mushroom farming

When receiving a random tick, a brown mushroom has a 4% chance of spreading to a nearby block (including even above and below diagonally) if there are fewer than five brown mushrooms in a 9×9×3 volume around the original brown mushroom.

Light source

Brown mushrooms emit a barely visible light level of 1.[3] However, they do not emit light in flower pots.[4]

Decoration

Brown mushrooms can be planted in a flower pot.
