The Mysterious Mushroom is one of the rarer ingredients in Palworld. You need it for the Shroomer Noct Saddle, Mysterious Mushroom Juice, and the Growth Acceleration Bell. This guide shows you the best farming location and other ways to obtain the mushrooms.

Best Location for Mysterious Mushrooms

You can find Mysterious Mushrooms on Sakurajima Island in the northwest of the world map. Travel to the southern or southeastern part of the island and look for the Mushroom Wetlands. Numerous large mushrooms grow close together in this area. Keep in mind that the enemies here are Level 50 or higher, so you should be at least Level 45 yourself.

Focus on destroying the large blue mushrooms. They have a higher chance of dropping a Mysterious Mushroom. Most of the time, you will still receive regular Mushrooms, so you may need to destroy several plants. You do not need a special tool. The mushrooms can be destroyed with melee weapons, ranged weapons, or attacks from your Pals.

How to Farm Mysterious Mushrooms Fast

The fastest method is to use a ranged weapon or a Pal with wide-area attacks. This allows you to destroy several mushrooms within a short time without having to approach each one individually.

Concentrate on the blue mushrooms before moving on to the surrounding groups. You can also find Hardwood on Sakurajima, allowing you to collect both resources during the same farming run. The Mysterious Mushroom was not introduced with version 1.0. It was already added with the Sakurajima update. However, changes to several locations may cause returning players to search in the wrong areas.

These Pals Drop Mysterious Mushrooms

You can also obtain Mysterious Mushrooms by capturing or defeating certain Pals. Three different species can drop them in version 1.0.

  • Shroomer Noct drops one or two Mysterious Mushrooms. You can find this Pal in the Mushroom Wetlands on Sakurajima and inside the Cherry Blossom Cave. Search mainly in the eastern part of the island.
  • Dualith Noct drops three to five Mysterious Mushrooms.
  • Mycora can drop two or three Mysterious Mushrooms, but the drop chance is only 50 percent. You can find Mycora near the World Tree.

The Mushroom Wetlands on Sakurajima remain the easiest option when you need a quick supply. Hunting the Pals is more worthwhile when you are already exploring their habitats.

What Mysterious Mushrooms Are Used For

The main use for Mysterious Mushrooms is crafting the Shroomer Noct Saddle. You unlock it at Technology Level 39 and need 20 Leather, 20 Mysterious Mushrooms, 30 Fiber, ten Refined Ingots, and 30 Paldium Fragments. Once crafted, you can ride Shroomer Noct as a mount. You can also find out how to obtain Ancient Technology Points in Palworld.

You can also use 20 Mysterious Mushrooms to craft Mysterious Mushroom Juice. The recipe additionally requires ten Beautiful Flowers, ten Horns, five Bones, and five Aquatic Pal Fluids. The juice greatly increases a Pal’s work speed for a limited time but also causes its SAN to drop significantly.
