Red Cap Mushroom
Red Cap Mushroom is the Shroomie event starter every fungal farmer recognizes — 71 Sheckles base in the mushroom category and the fastest path to learning spore weather.
Base value
Red Cap Mushroom base is 71 Sheckles. At 5 kg, raw value is 71 × 25 = 1,775 Sheckles. A 14 kg cap reaches 71 × 196 = 13,916 Sheckles — Shroomified (×mycelium event) tags scale from mushroom kg, not cap diameter.
Mutations & weather
Mushroom category crops during Shroomie want Shroomified, Luminous in fog, and Toxic during swamp overlap. Golden growth helps when spore weather RNG fails on rare caps.
Farming loop
Plant during Shroomie event and mushroom weather forecasts; keep plots damp-friendly for Wet and spore procs. Blue-cap rows beside red-cap share fungal buffs without mutation dilution.
Red Cap Mushroom strategy
Shroomie Event Entry Crop
Red Cap Mushroom teaches mushroom-category timing — shorter cycles than fairy-ring let you practice Shroomified procs before mythical investments.
Mushroom trades list spore event day religiously; red-cap without Shroomified sells at bulk kg prices only.
Climbing the Mushroom Ladder
Graduate from red-cap to glow-mushroom and fairy-ring once you hit 12 kg consistently. The mushroom category rewards sequential mastery, not random seed splashing.
Use calculator presets with Shroomified selected before posting — buyers filter mushroom listings by mutation icon first, kg second.
