Glowing Mushroom

Glowing Mushrooms are a restorative item found in blue grassy areas local to the Underground Biomes, normally in the stone layer. They may occur anywhere in the stone layer, at the top or the very bottom, so don't get frustrated if you can't find them. These may be consumed to recover 50 Health, or used in Alchemy to create Healing Potions.

They can be found as big as surface trees, usually around half a dozen on any given glowing mushroom patch. These giant mushrooms must be chopped down with an Axe just like a normal tree if you wish to harvest them, and can rarely drop a Mushroom Grass Seed. They also drop a large number of glowing mushrooms when cut down.

The player can tell when he or she is close to a patch of Glowing Mushrooms because of the light they emit in the darkness.



Farming

Many people who need to make healing potions later in the game tend to resort to farming. It creates an easy way to receive glowing mushrooms to make regular healing potions. Later on in the game, most players simply buy lesser healing potions and use them to craft potions with the mushrooms from their farm.

Mushroom farms will not grow glowing mushroom trees, these are only spawned at world generation



Underground Glowing Mushroom Farming:
 * A 4 height hole is dug horizontally, one larger than necessary for the character to fit through.
 * The bottom is lined with mud blocks. Mushroom grass is then planted on these blocks, via Mushroom Seeds.
 * Mushrooms are harvested when needed from this section.

Remember, mushrooms only grow below sea level, as noted by the Depth Meter.
