Mycelium is the fungal-textured surface block unique to mushroom fields biomes. It spreads to nearby dirt blocks when lit and uniquely lets mushrooms and nether fungi persist in any light level.

FAQ

What tool do I need to mine Mycelium?

None — it can be mined by hand, but a shovel is fastest.

What does Mycelium drop when mined?

Without Silk Touch it drops plain dirt; with Silk Touch it drops itself, letting you relocate mushroom fields ground.

Does Mycelium spread like grass?

Yes, it spreads to adjacent dirt blocks within one block up, sideways, or three down, given sufficient light (level 9+).

Where do I find Mycelium naturally?

Only in mushroom fields biomes, one of the rarest overworld biomes to generate.
