When Do Mushrooms Appear

How to Get Mushrooms Fast
Plant Trees Close to Each Other
5 pieces of mushroom will grow around Hardwood and Pine (Cedar) trees each day during Mushrooming Season. We recommend planting trees close to each other so you can collect them easily.
How Close Can You Plant Trees?
Consider cutting down trees if there is too much
If you have a lot of trees scattered around your island, you might want to consider decreasing its number, as it may take you time to look for the 5 pieces of mushroom each day.
Time-Travel and Collect
Mushrooms will not increase unless you have the daily broadcast
Up to 30 mushrooms can appear on your island at a time, but mushrooms will not appear for the day unless you have the daily island-wide broadcast, even if you skip 2 days or more.
Be sure to skip one day at a time, listen to the broadcast, and save. You can do this for 6 days, and then collect the 30 mushrooms.
Time Traveling Guide
Mushrooms disappear after Mushroom Season
Once the new month starts at 5 AM (December for Northern Hemisphere, and June for Southern Hemisphere), all grown mushrooms around the island will be gone.
However, mushrooms that you have picked up and dropped will not disappear.
Mushroom Growth Guide
- Mushrooms do not increase by breeding.
- 5 pieces of mushroom grow around trees and stumps each day.
- Up to 30 pieces of mushroom can appear on your island at a time.
- Mushrooms do not grow around Fruit trees and Bamboo.
- Mushroom appearance rates depend on your island rating.
Mushrooms Do Not Increase by Breeding
Unlike flowers, mushrooms do not increase in number by breeding. They will naturally grow around trees in a fixed number each day.
5 Pieces of Mushroom Grow Around Trees and Stumps Each Day
Each day, 5 pieces of mushroom will grow around your island. You can find them around Hardwood or Pine (Cedar) Trees, or stumps.
One mushroom, in particular, called Rare Mushroom, can be found buried around trees.
Up to 30 Pieces of Mushroom Can Appear On Your Island at a Time
The max number of mushrooms that can appear on your island at a time is 30. Take note that no more mushrooms will appear after this until you pick them up, even if you skip the time.
Mushrooms Do Not Grow Around Fruit Trees and Bamboo
Please take note that mushrooms do not grow around Fruit and Bamboo trees.
Mushrooms Do Not Grow on Mystery Islands
Mushrooms do not grow on Mystery Islands, so it is not necessary to go on a Mystery Island tour to get some mushrooms.
Mushroom Appearance Rates Depend on Your Island Rating
In our tests, the higher your island's rating, the higher the chances of getting Elegant Mushrooms and Rare Mushrooms.

Sell Them for Instant Bells

Eat Them for a Temporary Strength Boost
Like fruits, you can eat mushrooms for a temporary boost of strength. This allows you to dig up trees and break rocks.
