## Notes we already publish

- (location) Beyond the open-world nodes, the mushroom is also seeded inside dungeon interiors — it sits in the easy-tier spawner pool for the grassland, forest, desert, volcanic and snow cavern sets alike, so the very first cavern you clear at low level already carries it. The caverns that stock it are Astral Mountains Cavern, Cavern of the Dunes, Hillside Cavern, Mountain Stream Grotto, Ravine Grotto and Volcanic Cavern.
- (location) Inside a cavern it is placed as a world object clinging to the rock along the walls, not as chest loot and not on the boss table. That makes a mushroom run cheap: walk the corridors, harvest what is stuck to the stone, and leave through the entrance without ever pulling the alpha at the far end.
- (use) No Pal produces this on a Ranch. [[pal:MushroomDragon]] is the obvious guess and it is the wrong one — its ranch drop is the ordinary [[item:Mushroom]], a separate item that no medicine recipe accepts. Cavern Mushroom only comes from gathering it, buying it, or sending an expedition, so if you are burning through Recovery Meds, plan the trips rather than the pasture.
