How to Plant Your Mushroom Trees in OSRS

Planting mushroom trees in Old School Runescape is a great way to earn some extra money and gain farming experience. Mushroom trees are not only fun to grow, but they also provide a valuable resource for players who like to cook or craft potions. In this guide, we will go over everything you need to know to plant and maintain mushroom trees in OSRS.

Step 1: Acquiring Mushroom Spores

The first step in planting your mushroom trees is to acquire some mushroom spores. You can get mushroom spores by either buying them from the Grand Exchange or by harvesting them from existing mushroom trees in the game. If you decide to harvest the spores yourself, make sure to bring a basket to hold them in. Mushroom spores come in four different varieties:

Blissful

Graceful

Cheerful

Ecstatic

Each type of mushroom spore requires a different level of farming to be planted. Blissful mushroom spores require level 74, Graceful mushroom spores require level 86, Cheerful mushroom spores require level 98, and Ecstatic mushroom spores require level 110.

Step 2: Planting Mushroom Spores

Once you have acquired the mushroom spores, it’s time to plant them. Head over to the mushroom patch at the Canifis allotment, which is located in the northeast corner of the allotment area. Right-click on the patch and select “Plant” from the drop-down menu. Make sure you have the required farming level to plant the spores you have chosen.

It’s important to note that mushroom trees take a few days to grow and cannot be protected by supercompost or ultracompost. However, planting mushrooms during specific lunar phases can increase the speed at which they grow. It’s up to you to decide whether you want to wait for the right lunar phase or simply plant the mushrooms and let them grow at a slower pace.

Step 3: Maintaining Mushroom Trees

Once your mushroom trees are planted, it’s important to maintain them. Check your mushroom trees regularly to make sure they are healthy and growing properly. If you notice that your mushroom trees have become diseased, use a plant cure on them immediately to prevent the disease from spreading.

Mushroom trees can be harvested once they have reached maturity. The number of mushrooms you will receive from each tree varies depending on the type of mushroom and the level of your farming skill. You can use your harvested mushrooms to either cook food or create potions, both of which can be sold on the Grand Exchange for a profit.

Conclusion

Planting mushroom trees in Old School Runescape is a great way to earn money and gain farming experience. By following these simple steps, you can plant and maintain your own mushroom trees, and enjoy the fruits of your labor in the form of delicious mushrooms and profits. Happy farming!
