Mushrooms are somewhat of a seasonal item in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They are special to the autumn season, which Northern Hemisphere players have just entered. There are a lot of great recipes with mushrooms, and they can even be grown on the island. Here's everything players need to know about how to get mushrooms and what to make with them in Animal Crossing.


A guide to mushroom DIY in Animal Crossing

There are currently five different types of mushrooms in Animal Crossing. They each have different uses and different prices.

  • Flat Mushroom - 200 Bells
  • Rare Mushroom - 16,000 Bells
  • Round Mushroom - 200 Bells
  • Skinny Mushroom - 300 Bells
  • Elegant Mushroom - 10,000 Bells

Players can find thin, round, flat, and elegant mushrooms randomly spawned on the ground near regular trees and cedar trees. Every day at 5 a.m. local time, a new group of mushrooms should appear. Rare mushrooms are hidden and often need to be dug up.
