The Toadstool is an aggressive Boss Mob in Don't Starve Together, introduced in A New Reign. It is only found in the Caves. Three holes will spawn in the Caves upon world generation, each surrounded by three ponds. Only one of the holes will contain a Toadstool Cap at any time. Chopping it will spawn Toadstool, and if the player leaves the fight, it will burrow back into the hole. If Toadstool is killed, a new Toadstool Cap will spawn in a random hole after 20 days.

Upon death, Toadstool drops 1 Frog Legs, 1 Mushroom Cap of each type with other two 33% chances to get an extra cap for each type, three to five Meats with a 50% chance to get the fourth piece and another 25% chance to get the fifth piece, one Shroom Skin, and 2 Rare Blueprints. The first blueprint will be one of the Funcaps (with equal chances) and the second one will be one of the Mushroom Lights, with 33% chance to be Glowcap and 67% chance to be Mushlight. It will additionally drop a Shroom Skin every time its health reaches 70% and 40% (and 20% for Misery Toadstool).

The Misery Toadstool is an advanced variant of the Toadstool. It has the same behavior, but with higher health/attack/defense/etc. Its appearance is slightly changed, carrying black mushrooms with yellow dots on its back, rather than purple ones. All Boomshrooms and Sporecaps spawned by the Misery Toadstool will also have their colors changed. The Misery Toadstool has a guaranteed drop of Glowcap and Napsack blueprint upon death.

Toadstool Cap

The Toadstool Cap is a naturally spawning object in the Caves that spawns Toadstool after being chopped enough times with an Axe.

Exploding a Volatile Canary near Toadstool's Cap will turn it into a Misery Toadstool's Cap, which can then be chopped to spawn a Misery Toadstool. The cap will return to its regular state if left alone for 8 minutes.

Spear.png Fight

The Toadstool has the ability to attach a Spore Bomb to any player within 10 range, providing a bit of light until it explodes into a Spore Cloud 3.5 seconds later, which lingers for 1 minute and damages players as long as they are in it. The Spore Cloud will also rapidly spoil any perishable item within its area. Player fighting with a Ham Bat has to be careful not to be in range of the Spore Cloud on the ground.

When its health is below 40%, the Toadstool will hop twice to attack all the players and mobs nearby, and cause Earthquakes.

Initially, it takes 4 casts of the Ice Staff to freeze the Toadstool and 4 Sleep Darts to put it to sleep. Every time it unfreezes, the player needs 1 more cast to refreeze it again, up to 6 casts.

Below is the number of hits it takes with each weapon to kill a Toadstool when playing with characters with a default damage modifier. The Weather Pain is not included due to the random nature of its projectile.

Boomshroom

Wolfgang Portrait.png
Is dangerous mushy-boom!

Wolfgang

Boomshrooms will be spawned in groups of four or more by the Toadstool during the fight. They will pop out of the ground, start growing and explode after a few seconds, causing damage to any players or mobs nearby. The amount of Boomshrooms varies by the Toadstool's charge level (see Sporecap below) and by its current health. Boomshrooms spawned by a Misery Toadstool will have different colors.

Sporecap

Woodie

During the fight, the Toadstool will stop in place and start spawning Sporecaps. During summoning, it will have a -400/minute sanity aura. These Sporecaps, while providing light, will also buff the Toadstool. Based on the number of Sporecaps, the Toadstool gets the according level of numerous buffs, increasing its speed, damage, attack period, damage reduction, hit recovery (number of seconds between "hit" animations), and the number of Boomshrooms spawned. Players can easily notice the charge level by checking the mushroom caps on the Sporecaps or on Toadstool's back. The more puffed they are, the stronger the Toadstool will be. When charged, the light radius of the Sporecaps is also significantly increased. If the Sporecaps are not chopped down at all, the Toadstool will have 80% damage reduction (99% damage reduction for the Misery Toadstool), making it hard to kill. It is recommended to chop down the Sporcaps as soon as they spawn.

One Sporecap needs 10 chops with an Axe and one Misery Sporecap needs 14 chops. An effective way of removing the Sporecaps would be using the Moon Glass Axe or Weather Pain. While the Sporecaps can be burned, they will leave behind a poisonous Spore Cloud that damages the player if touched.

Sporecaps Level Speed Regular Toadstool Damage Misery Toadstool Damage Attack Period Regular Toadstool Damage Reduction Misery Toadstool Damage Reduction Hit Recovery Extra Boomshrooms Boomshroom spawns in a row
0 0 0.6 100 150 3.5 0% 0% 1 0 1
1-4 1 0.8 120 175 3.0 20% 25% 1.5 0-1 2
5-7 2 1.2 150 225 2.5 40% 50% 2 0-2 3
8+ 3 3.2 250 300 2.0 80% 99% 3 0-3 5

Chopping down Sporecaps will reduce the Toadstool's level. If Toadstool leaves or dies, all spawned Sporecaps will retreat into the ground. Sporecaps spawned by a Misery Toadstool will have different colors.


Prototype.png Tips

  • Toadstool is aggressive towards all creatures near it, including other toadstools.
  • When fighting normally, during a multiplayer fight, one player can chop the Toadstool's Sporecaps while another player can hit the Toadstool while it is charging its Sporecaps.
  • Desipite its insane amount of health, it is recommended to kill Misery Toadstool at least once for the Napsack Blueprint. The player can then make Napsack and use Deconstruction Staff to get more Shroom Skins.
  • Eating Warly's Volt Goat Chaud-Froid with Chili Flakes can highly increase the players damage, and any Crockpot food with Honey Crystals can double the efficiency of chopping, making the players to chop the Sporecaps faster. A mighty Wolfgang with Honey Crystals buff and Moon Glass Axe can chop the Sporecap in 2 hits.
  • The player can use Pan Flute on the toadstool after it summons all the Sporecaps, and clear the Sporecaps without getting attacked by it.
  • The Spore Cloud can spoil the food in Inventory or Backpack for 7% per second. The food in a closed Ice Box or container is unaffected.
  • Some recommended Characters to fight the Toadstool are:

Placeholder.png Trivia

  • The Toadstool was added in the Warts and All update, while the Misery Toadstool was added in an unnamed Bonus Update after the completion of A New Reign.
  • The Toadstool was first teased months prior to its official announcement in a Rhymes with Play developer stream.
  • The Toadstool is a tongue-in-cheek portmanteau of the words "Toad" and "Toadstool", a common term to describe mushrooms.
  • The Toadstool had 156500 Health and the ability to flee after 5 minutes when it was first released. After Revision 191503, the health value was greatly reduced and the time limit was removed.
  • The Toadstool was the first boss to have its own battle music.
