	“	You can even modify an existing huge mushroom into a house if you want to, by adding some walls and a door. They're the perfect size for a small outpost away from your main base, when you only need the essentials with you. And if anyone else finds it, they'll know that the person who lives there is a really, really fungi.	„
		— Duncan Geere

Mushroom blocks are solid blocks that make up huge mushrooms. There are 3 kinds of blocks: Red Mushroom Block, Brown Mushroom Block and Mushroom Stem.

Obtaining

Huge mushroom blocks are most quickly broken with an axe. They can only be retrieved with a Silk Touch tool. In Java Edition, mining the mushroom cap or stem yields a block with the cap or stem texture, respectively, on all sides. In Bedrock Edition, mining the stem yields a block with the stem texture on the sides and the pore texture on the top and bottom, while mining the cap yields a block with the pore texture on all sides, but the latter are different blocks for brown and red caps (despite having the same texture). In Bedrock Edition it cannot obtain blocks with the cap texture in Survival mode.

Additionally in Java Edition, if two similar mushroom blocks are placed next to each other and one of them is broken, the side of the other block that it was facing, will reveal the pore texture. This is because the side of these blocks will change texture if they're touching another block of the same type.

History

Java Edition Beta
June 14, 2011					Notch showed a picture of a Beta 1.7 change-list. Although it was completely blurred out and was at first thought of as a joke, Notch later stated that one of the pictures with the new lighting system and the change list had a secret in them.
					One place where people discussed it was on the Minecraft Forums, where it was discovered that the tabs at the top of the change list, which were partly covered, could be decoded based on the one pixel tall pattern available in the image.
					After a user named "tmcaffeine" successfully decoded the image, the tabs read: ExperienceOrb.java, changelist.txt, Level.java, Tile.java, HugeMushroomTile.jav(a?), HugeMushroomFeature.(java?), RandomLevelSource(cut).
					This led people to believe that huge mushrooms would be added, and indeed, later on Notch revealed a screenshot on Google+ in which two huge mushrooms could be seen as well as an NPC village.
1.8			Pre-release		Added mushroom blocks.
Java Edition
1.2.1			?		The various mushroom block types are dropped when mined with a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch.
1.5			?		The various mushroom block types are no longer dropped when mined with a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch.
1.8			14w25a		When harvested with Silk Touch enchantment they drop blocks with corresponding mushroom texture (red or brown) on all sides rather than the one with spores.
1.13			17w47a		Mushroom stems now have their own ID.
					Mushroom blocks are available from the Creative inventory.
					Renamed mushroom to brown mushroom block and red mushroom block.
					Added mushroom stems as an item within the inventory. Before this, it could be found naturally or be placed with /setblock.
					There is no longer any distinction between brown and red mushroom stems, and the stem block is now a separate block from the caps.
					Mushroom stems no longer drop (small) mushrooms when broken, but can now drop as stem blocks when mined with a Silk Touch tool.
					Prior to The Flattening, these blocks' numeral IDs were 99 and 100.
Upcoming Java Edition
1.14			19w03a		Mushroom stems can be used in composters.
			19w03b		Mushroom blocks can be used in composters to have a 80% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
			19w05a		Mushroom blocks now have an 85% chance of increasing the compost level in a composter by 1.
Pocket Edition Alpha
0.9.0			build 1		Added mushroom blocks.
					6-sided cap, stem and pores blocks are available in the Creative inventory.
			build 4		Now drop mushrooms when mined.
0.12.1			build 1		Mushroom blocks can now be obtained using a tool with the silk touch enchantment.
Upcoming Bedrock Edition
1.11.0			beta 1.11.0.1		Mushroom blocks can now be used to fill up composters.
Legacy Console Edition
TU5	CU1	1.0	Patch 1		Added mushroom blocks.
TU31	CU19	1.22	Patch 3		When harvested with Silk Touch enchantment they drop blocks with corresponding mushroom texture (red or brown) on all sides rather than the one with spores.
