Red Mushroom Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a red mushroom with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, this type of mushroom looks like a small, red mushroom with white spots. A red mushroom is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

How to get a Red Mushroom in Survival Mode
You can add a red mushroom with white spots to your inventory in Survival mode by finding and digging up a red mushroom in a very shady spot. So, let’s get started!
1. Find a Red Mushroom
First, you need to find a shady area in your Minecraft world that has red mushrooms growing.
TIP:Â Red mushrooms can grow in all sizes from tiny ones on the ground to towering mushrooms the size of a tree.
2. Break the Red Mushroom
The game control to break the red mushroom depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the mushroom.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the mushroom.
- For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.

You will need to continue to dig/chop until a red mushroom appears.
3. Pick up the Red Mushroom

Once you pick up the red mushroom, it will appear in your hotbar.
A red mushroom with white spots is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
