Overview
Minecraft classifies Red Mushroom as a plant block. There is no way to craft it; you have to find it and mine it. It breaks almost instantly, with a hardness of just 0.
You can break it by hand without losing the drop. It drops as the same block you mined. Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it.
It offers almost no protection from explosions (0 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64. It is used to craft Mushroom Stew, Rabbit Stew, and Suspicious Stew.
About the red set
How long it takes to break
Red Mushroom has a hardness of 0. By hand that is 0 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0 seconds.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed, which on a block this soft tips over into instant mining very early.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | instant | instant | instant |
| Wooden | instant | instant | instant |
| Stone | instant | instant | instant |
| Iron | instant | instant | instant |
| Diamond | instant | instant | instant |
| Netherite | instant | instant | instant |
| Golden | instant | instant | instant |
Properties
Red Mushroom has a blast resistance of 0, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It lets light through and emits no light of its own. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. It is renewable, so a single world can supply an unlimited amount of it. The fastest tool for it is an axe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for.
