Since mushrooms are so important in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players aim to collect as much of them as possible. Here's how players can collect mushrooms in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and what they can use them for.


How to collect mushrooms in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

There are quite a few varieties of mushrooms in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They are divided into the following categories:

  • Elegant mushrooms
  • Round mushrooms
  • Skinny mushrooms
  • Flat mushrooms
  • Rare mushrooms

Mushrooms are generally quite easy to collect, as players simply have to go near them and pull them up. However, mushrooms only spawn near hardwood trees, so make sure you have plenty of them on your Animal Crossing island.

Rare mushrooms, however, pose a slightly more difficult challenge. Since this variety of mushrooms is located underground, they are somewhat more elusive to find. However, they will always be situated near hardwood trees, and can be located by the star symbol that denotes the presence of a fossil. Players can usually harvest about five mushrooms per day.
