The Red Mushroom is found in the Mines, via foraging in the Secret Woods in the Summer and (more rarely) Fall, grown in the The Farm Cave if the mushroom option is chosen, on the farm in fall if the Forest Farm Map has been chosen, or from a tapped Mushroom Tree. It may also be occasionally found in Garbage Cans, at the Traveling Cart, or in the Ginger Island mushroom cave.
