They are valuable items that can be sold atTom Nook's store for 5,000Bells each. Mushrooms can be found from October 15 to October 25 between 8:00 AM and 9:15 AM. At 8 AM, five mushrooms appear near random trees in different acres around town. Every 15 minutes after 8 AM, one random mushroom will disappear due to being found by a villager. To obtain all five mushrooms, the player must collect them all before 8:15 AM. If mushrooms are picked up and dropped again, they may still disappear on each 15-minute interval until 9:15 AM.
