Matsutake Mushrooms are one of the most valuable mushroom types in the game. Unlike other mushrooms, Matsutake Mushrooms cannot be foraged and Matsutake Spores cannot be purchased from any shop.

The only way to acquire these mushrooms is to win Matsutake Spores as a 2nd place prize when you pull a red ball at the Prize Palooza.

But after you win the spores at least once, you can create more by processing Matsutake Mushrooms at the Blue Windmill.

Quality

Mushroom quality is determined by two factors:

1. Spore Quality: Higher quality spores produce higher quality mushrooms.
2. Webby’s Friendship Level: Increasing your sprite friendship level with Webby (by giving them mushrooms) further boosts the star quality of all mushrooms you collect.

We share more details about how to grow mushrooms on our mushroom cultivation page.

Windmill Processing

Matsutake Mushrooms can be processed at the Blue Windmill to create Matsutake Spores. This is especially important since Matsutake Spores cannot be purchased from any shops.
