The Mushroom Planter is a craftable Structure exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in A New Reign. It requires 8 Rot, 5 Manure, and 2 Living Logs to craft, and a Science Machine to prototype. After placing it, one can grow Red, Green, and Blue Caps or Spores on it. Mushrooms can be harvested at any time, and will yield different amounts of the mushroom depending on how much they grew. If a spore was planted, there is a 50% chance that it will release a spore when it hits the max level.

Harvesting the Planter less than one day after planting it will only yield the one mushroom that was planted. Planting a Mushroom can yield a maximum of 4 Mushrooms per harvest, while Mushroom Spores can produce a maximum of 6 Mushrooms. They take 3.75 days to fully grow and can be harvested 4 times before it must be replenished with Living Logs.

On the surface, mushrooms can grow through all seasons except Winter. When it starts snowing in Winter, the mushrooms will all turn into Rots. In the Caves, however, mushrooms can be grown all year round; this makes it a reliable and sustainable method of Mushrooms farming in Caves. Outside of snowfall the mushrooms will last indefinitely until harvested.

Moon Shroom Cloud

Wormwood with the Moon Shroom Cloud skill can plant Moon Shrooms in the Mushroom Planter, and with the Mushroom Multiplier skill he can make the Mushroom Planter produce a higher yield, from 4 caps to 6 caps at max level.

Tips

• A good method of using Mushroom farming is to make camp near a green and blue Mushtree Forest, where one can collect spores of Blue Mushtrees in Winter and Green Mushtrees in Spring. This method yields lots of Blue Mushrooms for Health and Hunger and Green Mushrooms for Sanity, at a continuous cost of Living Logs.
• Wickerbottom and Maxwell can read Horticulture, Abridged or Horticulture, Expanded to make all Mushroom Planter in range immediately grow to max level.

Trivia

• Mushroom Planters were introduced in the Arts and Crafts update.
• Maxwell's quote might be in reference to his quote for an Evergreen "I've heard them described as "piney"." which is itself a reference to Wilson's quote "It's all piney."
