This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a brown mushroom with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a brown 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.

Let’s explore how to add a brown mushroom to your inventory.

Where to find a Brown Mushroom in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find a brown mushroom in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform	Version(s)	Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.8 – 1.19	Decoration Blocks
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.19.3	Natural Blocks

Platform is the platform that applies.

Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).

Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

How to get a Brown Mushroom in Survival Mode

You can add a brown mushroom to your inventory in Survival mode by finding and digging up a brown mushroom in a very shady spot. So, let’s get started!

1. Find a Brown Mushroom

First, you need to find a shady area in your Minecraft world that has brown mushrooms growing. You will gather these mushrooms.

TIP: Brown mushrooms can grow in all sizes from tiny ones on the ground to towering mushrooms the size of a tree.

2. Break the Brown Mushroom

The game control to break the 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.
For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the mushroom.
For Education Edition, left click and hold on the mushroom.

The brown mushroom will break and a smaller mushroom will float on the ground.

3. Pick up the Brown Mushroom

Make sure you pick up the brown mushroom before it disappears.

Once you pick up the brown mushroom, it will appear in your hotbar.

A brown mushroom is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
