Introduction

Are you looking to add something new and exciting to your Stardew Valley farm? Mushroom trees might just be what you're looking for! These unique trees can add a fun new element to your farm while also providing a source of mushrooms.

What are mushroom trees?

Mushroom trees are a type of tree that can be grown in Stardew Valley. Unlike other trees, mushroom trees produce mushrooms instead of fruit. The mushrooms will grow on the tree branches and can be harvested with a shaking motion. These trees come in various colors including red, purple, and brown.

How to obtain mushroom tree saplings

To plant mushroom trees, you will need to obtain mushroom tree saplings. These saplings can be obtained by completing a bundle in the mushroom cave located in the mines. Alternatively, they can also be purchased from the traveling cart.

Planting mushroom trees

Mushroom trees can be planted in the same manner as other trees. You will need a hoe to till the soil, and then you can plant the sapling at the desired location. Mushroom trees require a 3x3 space to grow, so make sure to leave enough room for them to develop. It's important to note that these trees can only be planted outdoors and cannot be grown inside your greenhouse.

Caring for mushroom trees

Once your mushroom tree is planted, you will need to take care of it to ensure it grows healthy and strong. You will need to water the tree daily, just like other crops. In addition, make sure not to till the soil around the tree as this can damage the tree's roots. Avoid placing other items near the tree that may obstruct its growth as well.

Harvesting mushroom trees

Mushroom trees will start producing mushrooms after approximately 12 in-game days of growth. Shake the tree branches by pressing the action button, and the mushrooms will fall off. Make sure to collect the mushrooms before they disappear, as they won't stay on the ground for long. Mushroom trees will continue to produce mushrooms every 6-7 days, so make sure to check them regularly.

Conclusion

Overall, mushroom trees can be a fun and unique addition to your Stardew Valley farm. With the right care and patience, you can grow your own mushroom trees and have a source of fresh mushrooms right on your farm. So why not give it a try and see what kind of mushrooms you can grow?
