Tutorial:Mushroom Farm





Mushroom farms are...interesting to build. They are very simple to harvest, only requiring you to move forward and hold left click with a hoe that has a good amount of farming fortune. A Fungi Cutter is the best harvesting tool for mushrooms, but it is rather expensive to new players and requires that you separate the red and brown sections of the farm for maximal efficiency

Materials

-Mycelium

-Multiple stacks of red and brown mushrooms

Building the farm

Step 1. Make a 4 x 6 rectangle out of mycelium, but do not fill it in.

Step 2. Place another rectangle next to it, so that there it is still four blocks wide, with two blocks every 4 blocks. (4 blocks in between the two blocks).

Step 3. Repeat steps 1 and two to make rows, but the rows have to be 2 blocks apart.

Step 4. In the rows, on the two blocks that are placed every 4 blocks, plant one red mushroom and one brown mushroom.

Step 5. To harvest, go in a straight line but do NOT harvest anything in the middle.

Step 6. I know I may have worded this weirdly, so I will upload a picture of what one row of mycelium should look like.

Notes:

Mushrooms grow VERY slowly. Because of this, many players opt to use ~20 level 5 mushroom minions in order to get the gold medal for the Jacob's contest. Mushroom farms are not profitable, and should not be built unless you just want a farm of every type.

To decrease cost, consider buying dirt and letting mycelium spread to it. This requires the farm to be lit, but is not as slow as you think.

A builder's wand is very useful if you want a full width farm.
