How to get a Brown Mushroom Block in Survival Mode

You can add a brown mushroom block to your inventory in Survival mode by mining the top of a large brown mushroom with a tool that has been enchanted with Silk Touch. So let's get started!

TIP: This will ONLY work in Java Edition. In Bedrock Edition, there is no way to obtain a brown mushroom block in Survival mode. If you try the method below in Bedrock Edition, you will get a light brown (spore) mushroom block instead!

1. Find a Large Brown Mushroom

First, you need to find a large brown mushroom in the game. You can find large brown mushrooms in the Dark Forest or the Mushroom Island biomes:

Dark Forest

Mushroom Island

How to make a Brown Mushroom Block in Minecraft (47)

Large brown mushrooms are easy to spot and they are usually found near large red mushrooms that have white spots.

2. Hold a Tool Enchanted with Silk Touch

You can mine the top of a brown mushroom with a tool that has been enchanted with Silk Touch such as pickaxe, shovel, or axe:

Pickaxe

Shovel

Axe

In this example, we are going to use an iron pickaxe that is enchanted with Silk Touch.

3. Break the Top of the Large Brown Mushroom

The game control to break the top of the brown mushroom depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the top of the brown mushroom.

How to make a Brown Mushroom Block in Minecraft (67)

The top of the brown mushroom will break and a smaller brown mushroom block will float on the ground.

TIP: Normally when you mine the top of a brown mushroom with your hand or a tool (that is not enchanted), you will get 0-2 brown mushrooms in Java Edition.

How to make a Brown Mushroom Block in Minecraft (68)

However, when you mine the top of a large brown mushroom using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch in Java Edition, you will get the brown mushroom block itself as the drop.

4. Pick up the Brown Mushroom Block

Make sure you pick up the brown mushroom block before it disappears.

How to make a Brown Mushroom Block in Minecraft (69)

Once you pick up the brown mushroom block, it will appear in your hotbar.

How to make a Brown Mushroom Block in Minecraft (70)

A brown mushroom block should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
