Fields of Mistria Earthshroom: Where to Find and How to Use It

Learn where to find Earthshrooms in Fields of Mistria, what recipes use them, and which villagers dislike receiving them as gifts.

Overview

Earthshrooms are a forageable item in Fields of Mistria that you can only find inside the mines. They spawn in The Deep Earth, which covers floors 41 through 59. Unlike many forageables tied to a specific season, Earthshrooms are available during all seasons, making them a reliable resource whenever you descend to that floor range.

Earthshrooms serve several purposes: they appear in Woodcrafting and Cooking recipes, can be donated to The Museum's Flora Wing, and are required for certain Quests. You can also give them as gifts, though not every villager will appreciate them.

How to Obtain Earthshrooms

Earthshrooms are found as forageable items on the ground in The Deep Earth section of the mines. To collect them:

  1. Enter the mines and descend to floor 41 or deeper.
  2. Search the floor for glowing forageable spots or visible mushroom spawns.
  3. Walk up to an Earthshroom and interact with it to pick it up.

Because they are available in all seasons, you don't need to wait for a specific time of year to farm them. Simply revisit floors 41–59 whenever you need more.

Overworld Appearance

When unpicked on the mine floor, Earthshrooms appear as a distinct mushroom sprite. Once harvested, the spot is cleared and will respawn on a later visit, consistent with the game's forageable respawn mechanics.

Uses for Earthshrooms

Earthshrooms are a versatile forageable with several practical applications:

Cooking

Earthshrooms are an ingredient in at least one cooking recipe. Notably, they are used to prepare Crispy Fried Earthshroom, a dish in The Snacks category. The in-game description notes: "This umami mushroom's unique shape gives it an incredible crisp when fried."

Woodcrafting

Earthshrooms are also listed as an ingredient for Woodcrafting recipes. The specific craftable items were not detailed in the available source material, but the item's recipe association with the Woodcrafting skill is confirmed.

Museum Donation

You can donate an Earthshroom to The Museum's Flora Wing to complete that collection category.

Quests

Earthshrooms are required for certain quests in the game. Specific quest details were not listed in the available source material.

Ornamental Crafting

Like other crops and forageables, harvesting an Earthshroom will sometimes drop a recipe that teaches you how to craft an ornamental furniture version of the plant.

Gifting

Most villagers have neutral or positive reactions to Earthshrooms, but two villagers specifically dislike receiving them:

They smell kinda like dirt, but so do potatoes when you first dig them up!" — confirms the item was present and functional in the game by that date.
