After getting 25k total demetreus will ask you about setting up the cave, where picking mushrooms gets you six boxes producing every other day. All mushrooms come out normal quality no matter what your skills are which is kinda nice for planning. Common ones pop up most with purple being super rare but you might get lucky with some morels and chanterelles too.

The whole setup is perfect for keeping a steady supply of healing stuff, especially for mining trips and crafting life elixirs once you get the recipe. Pretty solid money maker too since the new update throws in a free dehydrator to make dried versions worth more. Just remember to check every other day, since waiting longer means wasted mushrooms that could've been growing. Honestly way more reliable than fruit bats if youre into mining or combat, though bats arent terrible if you need fruit variety.

Tip: mushrooms always spawn in the same order in the boxes so you can predict which ones youll get after a while
