Drumsticks can easily craft a Turkey Dinner that provides players with 75 Hunger, 5 Sanity and 20 Hunger.Įven if you don’t use Drumsticks for Turkey Dinner, using Red Caps to kill Gobblers is still a good choice, especially if you have Berry Bushes in your base. I would use Red Caps as a filler or vegetable when cooking in the Crockpot, although I find Red Caps most useful when fed to Gobblers as 3 Red Caps in a stack will kill any Gobbler for the trade-off of 2 Drumsticks. In my opinion, Raw Red Caps are never useful for stats however, having a few Cooked Red Caps can be helpful if you are trying to drop your Sanity while trying to get an extra boost of Health. Ultimately, Red Caps and Red Mushrooms will not provide players with any stats that they will find useful, other than the small 12.5 Hunger for significant -20 Health trade-off or tiny 1 Health for -10 Sanity. ( *Note: Wormwood will not be affected by the -20 Health)Ī Cooked Red Cap will provide players with 0 Hunger, -10 Sanity and 1 Health. Red Mushrooms naturally grow in the Grasslands, Mushtree Forests, and various Surface Forests.Ī Raw Red Cap will provide players with 12.5 Hunger, 0 Sanity and -20 Health. Red Mushrooms will only appear during the Day in all forms of Don’t Starve (DS, DST, RoG, SW & HAM). So, let’s dive into everything you need to know about the different types of mushrooms. Although shovelling will yield two mushrooms, I would strongly recommend against it unless you are planning on making Mushroom Planters. For a Mushroom to regrow, players must make sure that the Mushroom is picked by hand and not with a Shovel. Since Mushrooms follow seasonal mechanics, Mushrooms will not grow in the Winter however, they also do not follow a timed growth cycle like many other resources.įor a Mushroom to grow, a Mushroom must be rained on for 5-10.5 minutes. Similar to other foods, bushes and living resources, Mushrooms follow the season mechanics. Mushrooms are relatively versatile in Don’t Starve and Don’t Starve Together, allowing players to use Mushrooms in Crock Pot recipes, feed them to select mobs or even receive or lose stats based on whether the Mushroom is cooked or raw.

Mushrooms come in 3 different variants, Red, Green, and Blue. Not only did I not understand all of the stats Mushrooms gave and took away from players, but I was scared that if I picked a Mushroom, it would never appear again as is with many Don’t Starve resources.Īlthough I had a more effortless slide into The Constant by playing Don’t Starve Together with my family, I quickly realized how essential Mushrooms are when playing solo Don’t Starve (RoG, SW & HAM), especially in Adventure Mode. When I first started playing Don’t Starve, I was too afraid to pick Mushrooms.
