Mushroom Quest Progression: From Caps to Cooked Food

Stage 1: Gather Caps

Start by collecting the nine mushroom caps: Aqua, Blue, Brown, Green, Inky, Pink, Purple, Red, and Sunset Mushroom Cap. Brown and Red are the most familiar from vanilla mushroom terrain. The rest you will find as you explore mushroom biomes. Carry a bowl so you can pick up soup-related items as you go.

Stage 2: Set Up a Kitchen

Build three stations: a crafting table, a furnace or smoker, and a campfire. You need all of them because Mushroom Quest splits its recipes across crafting, smelting, smoking, and campfire cooking.

• Crafting table: for shapeless recipes, including Miso Soup.
• Furnace or smoker: for smelting and smoking the grilled dishes.
• Campfire: for campfire cooking the grilled dishes without fuel.

Stage 3: Cook

Turn raw ingredients into Grilled Portobello and Grilled Chicken of the Woods using any of the three cooking methods. Craft Miso Soup at the crafting table using shapeless recipes. Miso Soup is both an item and a block, so you can place it down as decoration or storage.

Stage 4: Stockpile

Keep a chest of spare caps next to your kitchen. Because most recipes are shapeless, you can craft quickly without sorting the grid, and because the grilled dishes cook three ways, you are never stuck without a station.
