This is about the block form of Flathead Mushrooms. For the item, see Flathead Mushroom (item). Not to be confused with the Black Hat or Bulb-Capped Mushroom, two other varieties of mushroom.
Flathead Mushrooms are fungus blocks that generate in patches in Swamplands biomes. They are also found in the Wight Fortress.
Collection
When harvested, Flathead Mushrooms drop a Flathead Mushroom (item), which can then be consumed, ground into Ground Flathead Mushroom, or used to replant the actual block.
Growing
Flathead Mushrooms will grow to adjacent plant-supporting blocks when on top of composted Dug Swamp Dirt, Dug Swamp Grass, Dug Purified Swamp Dirt, or Dug Purified Swamp Grass. However, their growth will halt if the composted block they are growing on becomes decayed, or if its compost is depleted after enough harvests.
Potting
Flathead Mushrooms can be placed decoratively inside of Mud Brick Flower Pots with a right-click. They can then be taken out by right-clicking the pot again.
Compostability
Flathead Mushrooms have a compost process time of 6 minutes and 40 seconds and a compost amount of 5. Visit the Compost page for more information regarding the composting mechanic.
Events
Placed Flathead Mushrooms will take on an alternative texture during the Winter seasonal event.
