Mushroom fields, commonly referred to as mushroom islands, are rare biomes which always generate as islands surrounded by deep oceans. They are the only place in the game where mycelium and mooshrooms are found, and have the special property that no hostile mobs normally spawn in them.

Description

Mushroom fields make up about 0.15% of the Overworld's area. They generate in areas where the continentalness values are the lowest, meaning they almost always generate as islands very far away from major landmasses, and are bordered by deep ocean biomes (which have the second-lowest continentalness values) of any temperature. The islands have the occasional tendency to be close to one another, resulting in multiple mushroom fields separated by only a few hundred blocks. It is nearly impossible for the player to spawn in the mushroom fields biome, unless there is no other spawnable biome for thousands of blocks.

The mushroom fields generate in usually flat islands and have mycelium instead of grass blocks on the surface. Grass blocks that are placed by the player in this biome take on a bright green color, similar to the grass found in jungles. A large amount of brown and red mushrooms cover the land. It is one of the only biomes, along with swamps‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]} and dark forests, where huge mushrooms generate naturally. Sugar cane and grass sometimes generate by the ocean.^[1]

The huge mushrooms generate with a density high enough to be a reliable source of mushroom blocks, but low enough not to significantly obstruct vision. Here, mushrooms can grow in full sunlight. Water is a light gray color in Bedrock Edition.

Mushroom fields are the only biome where mooshrooms naturally spawn. Red mooshrooms, bats‌^{[JE only]}, and glow squids are the only mobs that spawn naturally in this biome; this also applies in caves, mineshafts, and other dark structures under the island, meaning the biome is mostly safe both above and below ground.

However, monster spawners found in mineshafts, monster rooms, or strongholds continue to spawn mobs, raids can still spawn illagers, drowned may rarely enter the biome from the surrounding deep ocean at night, and wandering traders along with trader llamas can still spawn here. Additionally, lightning strikes can transform red mooshrooms into brown mooshrooms or vice versa. If the player has not slept in three nights, phantoms spawn in the biome as well‌^{[JE only][2]}. Also, lush caves can sometimes generate underground, allowing for monsters to spawn naturally.

Mushroom fields have a unique sky color with Vibrant Visuals, which is yellow at the horizon and purple at zenith. Mushroom fields also have a bright purple tinted fog effect underwater and slightly stronger volumetric fog than other biomes.
