Mushroom

The **Mushroom** variants in Mope.io are a fairly common food source, that can be found in the Arctic and Land biomes. There are two types: **red** and **brown**, the latter being edible for more low-tier animals but providing less XP, while the former provides high XP for medium-tiers and is only edible for tier 6 and beyond.

The **Brown Mushroom** is a food source in Mope.io that spawns in the Land and Arctic biomes. It was introduced on October 9, 2016.

## Technical

* They spawn all around the Land and Arctic. They are particularly found in patches of mud, and in rivers.
	+ Red mushrooms, when fed multiple water pods (by pressing `S`), will turn into a combination of brown mushrooms and berries.
	+ Mushrooms can also be dug up from the "Dig Food" abilities of the Deer and Reindeer.
* All animals within the range of tier 4 to tier 17 (Pig to King Dragon) can eat them.
* Mushrooms at first give 10 XP for the lower tiers, but can give up to around 50 XP at full capacity.
* Like red mushrooms, when brown mushrooms are fed multiple water pods, they will explode into a bunch of berries. This can be done by pressing `S` into the mushroom.
* The brown mushrooms that spawn in the Land biome physically appear slightly different to those that appear in the Arctic biome; the top of the latter are covered in snow, while the former are not.

## Appearance

### Land Red Mushroom

The Land-based red mushroom looks similar to the brown mushroom, but is bigger. The top of it also, unlike the brown mushroom, is red with white spots.

### Arctic Red Mushroom

The Arctic-residing red mushroom is almost identical to the Land red mushroom, except its colors are duller and it has snow on top of it.

### Old

They are like the brown mushrooms, except larger and with a red top. Red Mushrooms look rather like the cliché of mushrooms in fairy-tales or cartoons, excluding the white spots. It has also been unofficially dubbed the "Super Mushroom" due to the Super Mushrooms in New Super Mario Bros. which are red.
