Red Mushroom – Wiki Guide

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: 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.
- For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.

You will need to continue to dig/chop until a red mushroom appears.
3. Pick up the Red Mushroom
Make sure you pick up the red mushroom before it disappears.
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.
