Where Can Pore Mushroom Blocks Be Found?

Pore Mushroom Blocks generate inside the caps of giant Red and Brown Mushrooms, located in Mushroom Fields and Dark Forest biomes. Players can obtain them by breaking the inside of a giant mushroom with a Silk Touch tool. Without Silk Touch, they drop regular Red or Brown Mushrooms instead. More details about mushroom biomes can be found in the Mushroom Fields article.

What Can Players Do with a Pore Mushroom Block?

Pore Mushroom Blocks are mainly used for decoration due to their unique porous texture. They work well in organic builds, fantasy landscapes, or as an alternative to sponge-like materials. Because they are difficult to obtain in large quantities, they are often used for small accents rather than large-scale builds.
