Growth Time Variable

A Mushroom Tree is a tree that spawns according to a rare event in Fall. It can be chopped down using an axe and will drop 5-6 Red or Purple Mushrooms (plus one for the stem). It does not yield seeds when shaken or chopped down, but it will spread seeds like a common tree. If unobstructed, seeds spread by a Mushroom Tree have a 20% chance to grow to the next stage each day during Spring, Summer, or Fall. During Winter, Mushroom Tree seeds/saplings do not grow, and fully-grown Mushroom Trees will be reduced to a stump. The stump may regrow in Spring.

Obtaining the first Mushroom Tree is a random event that can only happen in the Fall. On each day of Fall there is a 5% chance of a spawning event being triggered. When triggered, the game engine will choose 10 farm tiles at random. If any of those ten tiles have a fully grown, untapped forest tree (or tree stump), then that tree will transform into a Mushroom Tree (or Mushroom Stump). A Mushroom Stump can grow into a Mushroom Tree, but not until the next Spring.

A Mushroom Tree can be tapped with a tapper. It yields Red Mushroom, Purple Mushroom, and Common Mushroom when tapped, except during the Winter. During Winter, the Tapper will remain on the tree, despite the tree itself being replaced by a stump. The following Spring, the tapper may need to be removed and immediately replaced on the Mushroom Tree before it will produce mushrooms.

Section Stub

This section is marked as a stub for the following reason:

  • Needs to be explained more clearly. Mushrooms don't change type as they are harvested.

The type of mushroom and harvesting time determined as the tapper being placed or as the mushroom being harvested. The time needed to be harvested depends on the season (with one exception mentioned below), it will be 6000 minutes at Spring or Summer, 3000 minutes on Fall and 80000 minutes on Winter (so, it is not recommended to harvest the mushroom on Winter and this is the reason that the tapper may need to be re-installed). When the tapper is placed, it will produce Common Mushroom on Spring or Summer, and Red Mushroom on Fall. When a Common or Red Mushroom is harvested on the 10th or 20th day of a month, it will produce Purple Mushroom; when a Purple Mushroom is harvested, it will produce Red Mushroom, and the time needed will always be 3000 minutes regardless of the season; when a Common Mushroom is harvested on a day other than the 10th or 20th, it will produce Common Mushroom; when a Red Mushroom is harvested on a day other than the 10th or 20th, it will produce Red Mushroom if harvested on Fall, otherwise, it will produce Common Mushroom.

  • A player may obtain weeds by chopping a seed dropped by a Mushroom Tree with a tool. The weed can then be placed on the ground and harvested to obtain fiber, or sold through the Shipping Box for data-sort-value="50">Gold.png50g.
