i think there are 2 practical take aways from this video <br>- if you devolop an area, you get less mushrooms<br>- dont forget where your mushroom spawns are

It would be cool if you could eventually cultivate mushrooms in the vanilla game. I know there's a mod for it, but it would still be cool to see mushroom cultivation implemented into the vanilla game

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5rn2V-CvII&t=27">0:27</a> that's actually a pretty cleaver way of simulating how mushrooms form from the Mycelium.

Dude you are a pioneer in these.<br>Now we know that you can disturb mushroom spawns just by digging around in the same area, this pretty useful info for survival.

Bit of a shame we can't transfer mushroom spawn blocks to make them more convenient to get, but maybe we'll get some sort of mushroom log later on. <br><br>Still, very interesting and very helpful

I like how much complicated the mechanics in this game than in other block games. The developers really put in the effort to feel like a living ecosystem and all.

We're seeing in real-time Bosmic's descent into insanity with these myth-busting and testing videos. He has now shown he will go to depths further than what those who update and maintain the official wiki for the game have, all to a prove a point (or multiple points, rather.) <br><br>What's next? Testing how often bears&wolves spawn on forest ground vs. low/medium fertility soil? Seeing if animals that eat crops, like hare, goats, deer, and boar, are somehow directly correlated to spawn within a given proximity to actively growing crops? (and if so, how much more often with such a circumstance in mind, vs just spawning out in the untouched wilderness, away from even traders)

What an interesting way of handling mushroom spawning. Man, I'm glad there are insane people like Bosmic who can find this stuff, since the devs didn't share their arcane secrets.

Puffballs are delicious irl, if you know for sure how to identify them. Slice 'em up and fry them in butter. The trick is making sure it's not a secretly deathcap in the button stage. :)
