Mushroom (Red)

Mushrooms can be found on the ground in the Meadows, Black Forest and Swamp. Picked mushrooms will respawn after 240 minutes, or 4h, at the same place that they were picked. Unlike the case with raspberries and blueberries, which do not return if the plant itself is removed, mushrooms will return if the ground is cleared or even excavated.
Mushrooms are almost negligible as a food, but they are a vital component of some of the best recipes in the later game, as well as being food for tame boars. Since they cannot be cultivated, and do not grow in large numbers at any one place, it is prudent to save some of them from early in the game for later use.
