Small mushrooms provide a nearby food option, while larger Toadstool harvests can feed cooking and building production chains.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Small mushrooms on Grasslands ground patches; Toadstool nodes in upper-yard patches for chunk harvests.
Use ground mushrooms when you need food on a regular Grasslands run. For larger batches, harvest Mushroom Chunks from upper-yard Toadstool nodes, then route them into the cooking or production chain you have unlocked. Keep the two sources straight: small mushrooms are convenient pickups, while chunks are a processed material.
A chopping tool of the required tier for Toadstool nodes.
Roasting Spit for cooking, or Grinder and Oven for chunk processing.
Walk a Grasslands route and collect small Mushrooms directly from the ground.
Use the small mushrooms for immediate food needs or bring them to a Roasting Spit if you want them cooked.
For a larger batch, travel to an upper-yard Toadstool patch.
Check the node's chopping requirement, harvest with the appropriate axe, and pick up the Mushroom Chunks.
Use chunks in the Oven chain you have unlocked, such as Mushroom Slurry and bricks, rather than treating them as ready-to-eat mushrooms.
Store cooked food or processed materials for the purpose you planned.
Farming tips
Use small mushrooms for a quick food pickup; reserve chunk-processing trips for when you need their crafting output.
Check station access before carrying chunks back from the upper yard.
Repeat, collect and use
Collect small mushrooms whenever you pass their patches; revisit Toadstool nodes when chunk-based recipes need more. Availability varies by node and ground pickup.
Common mistakes
Trying to harvest a Toadstool with an under-tier axe: confirm the node's requirement first.
Expecting chunks to act like ready food: process them through the appropriate station chain.
Making a distant chunk run for an immediate snack: pick small ground mushrooms instead.
When to stop or switch
Stop collecting ground mushrooms when your food storage is adequate; stop the chunk route when your planned Oven or building batch is covered.
