The clearing is where you’ll be spending most of your time in the game. Here’s where you will find the Mushrooms (or Shrooms). Randomly walk to the edges of the clearing and look on the ground. Refer to the image above, and you will spot the Mushrooms lying in wait for the player to pick up. Simply use the prompted button to pick them up. The good part about this is that they are replenishable. So, you will never run out of them because when you pick one, another will grow somewhere nearby.

When you are going on a Shroom hunt in Wanderstop, there are four types of these fungi that you must look out for. These are as follows:

Dupe Shroom: Creates three copies of a Large Hybrid. Water them for additional fruits.
Shrink Shroom: Shrinks Large Hybrid plants, allowing you to put them in a pot.
Hue Shroom: Changes the color of a Hybrid Plant and its fruits.
Gift Shroom: Allows Large Hybrids to produce trinkets instead of fruit when watered.

All of these types of Shrooms can be found out in the wild when you go looking for them. Since they are spawned at random, you can’t look out for specific locations, unfortunately.
