Now that Animal Crossing Halloween is over, the leaves on your island will continue to change colors until they become warm autumn hues. What's more, mushrooms will pop up all over your island, and you'll be able to use them to craft super cute Mushroom sets. These seasonal changes are part of what makes this one of the best Nintendo Switch games out there. Dying to learn more? Here's everything you need to know about Animal Crossing mushrooms and mushroom DIY recipes.
When do mushrooms sprout?
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, mushrooms will pop up on your island throughout November. If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, mushrooms will sprout in May.

Where to find each mushroom

Mushrooms are partial to trees, so you'll find them near wooded areas. The most valuable one is the Rare Mushroom, and unlike the others, it's actually hidden underground. If you see a crack in the ground near a tree, like the ones you see when you're digging for fossils, then it might just yield a Rare Mushroom when you use your shovel.
How to gather the most mushrooms

There are a few things you can do to increase the chances of your island sprouting more mushrooms.
- Plant several trees if you don't have that many: Since mushrooms sprout near tree trunks, your island will have a higher likelihood of spawning mushrooms if you have plenty of trees. It doesn't matter if they are fruit trees or evergreens.
- Clean up around your tree trunks: Mushrooms won't be able to spawn if the floor around the base of your trees is covered with weeds, sticks, flowers, or other items. Clear the area, and then you're more likely to get more mushrooms.
- Harvest mushrooms every day: A fresh batch of mushrooms will appear on your island each morning. Clear out the old to make way for new fungi.

Mushroom DIY recipes can be collected by popping the balloons that fly over your island. Much like the Cherry Blossom recipes, they can be rather hard to find, so pop as many balloons as you can during this month.
