A mushroom block is a solid block that makes up a huge mushroom, which consists of a mushroom stem and brown mushroom blocks or red mushroom blocks, depending on the color of the huge mushroom.

Obtaining

Breaking

Mushroom blocks are most quickly broken with an axe, with a chance of 77.77% of dropping 0 and respectively a chance of 11.11% to drop 1 or 2 mushroom items of the respective type. When mining a naturally generated huge mushroom structure, only the cap blocks drop mushroom items; the stem blocks drop nothing. Fortune does not affect the drop rate of mushrooms in any form.

The blocks themselves can be retrieved only by using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. Mining the mushroom cap or stem yields a block with the cap or stem texture, respectively, on all faces.

Additionally, in Java Edition, if two similar mushroom blocks are placed next to each other and one of them is broken, the side of the other block that it was facing reveals the pore texture. This is because the side of these blocks change texture if they touch another block of the same type.

Mushroom blocks can be moved and are not broken by pistons.

Natural generation

Mushroom blocks generate as part of huge mushroom structures.

Creative inventory

The brown and red mushroom blocks (with the cap texture on all faces) as well as the mushroom stem are available in the Creative inventory.

Commands

In Bedrock Edition, commands can be used to obtain legacy variants of brown and red mushroom blocks with additional texture arrangements, including a block with the pore texture on all sides and 9 blocks with the cap texture on top, one or two cap textures on (adjacent) sides, and the pore texture on the remaining sides and bottom. The all-pores blocks, of which there are 4 distinct variants for each color, all look identical but retain the color and variant number distinctions internally (hence they do not stack together). If broken with a Silk Touch tool, all these variants drop cap blocks of the appropriate color. Otherwise, they have a chance of dropping mushroom items of the appropriate color.

Usage

Composting

Mushroom blocks can be used in the composter with an 85% chance to make a new layer.

Mushroom stems can be used in the composter with a 65% chance to make a new layer.

Note Blocks

Mushroom blocks can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sound.

History

[hide]Java Edition Beta
June 14, 2011							Notch showed a picture of a Beta 1.7 change-list. Although it was completely blurred out and was at first thought of as a joke, Notch later stated that one of the pictures with the new lighting system and the change list had a secret in them.
							One place where people discussed it was on the Minecraft Forums, where it was discovered that the tabs at the top of the change list, which were partly covered, could be decoded based on the one-pixel tall pattern available in the image.
							After a user named "tmcaffeine" on the forums successfully decoded the image, the tabs read: ExperienceOrb.java, changelist.txt, Level.java, Tile.java, HugeMushroomTile.jav(a?), HugeMushroomFeature.(java?), RandomLevelSource(cut).
							This led people to believe that huge mushrooms would be added, and indeed, later on, Notch revealed a screenshot on Google+ in which two huge mushrooms could be seen as well as a village.
1.8			Pre-release				Added mushroom blocks.
							Mushroom blocks cannot be obtained from the Creative inventory.
[hide]Java Edition
1.0.0			Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4				The various mushroom block types are now dropped when mined with a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch.
			Beta 1.9 Prerelease 6				Mushroom blocks are broken faster using an axe.

1.13			17w47a				Three variants of mushroom blocks are now available from the Creative inventory.
							"Mushroom" has been renamed to "Brown Mushroom Block" and "Red Mushroom Block".
							Mushroom stems have been added as an item within the inventory. Before this, it could be found naturally or be placed with /setblock.
							There is no longer any distinction between brown and red mushroom stems, and the stem block is now handled as a separate type of block from the caps.
							Mushroom stems no longer drop (small) mushrooms when broken, but can now drop as stem blocks when mined with a tool with the Silk Touch enchantment.
							Mushroom stems now use the same connection logic as cap blocks.
			18w06a				Mushroom blocks no longer function as furnace fuel.
1.14			18w43a				The textures of mushroom blocks have been changed.
			19w03a				Mushroom stems can now be used in composters.
			19w03b				Mushroom blocks can now be used in composters to have a 80% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

							Mushroom stems no longer drop mushrooms when mined.
1.21.40			Preview 1.21.40.20				The mushroom_stem ID has been split up from brown_mushroom_block and red_mushroom_block IDs. Existing stem blocks in older worlds are automatically replaced during world upgrade.
							Mushroom stems now have an 65% chance of increasing the compost level in a composter by 1 instead of 85% to match Java Edition.
							The all-sided pore mushroom block has been removed from Creative inventory.
