Where Can Red Mushroom Blocks Be Found?

Red Mushroom Blocks generate naturally in Mushroom Fields biomes and Dark Forests, where giant Red Mushrooms spawn. Players can also obtain them by using a Silk Touch tool to break the cap of a giant Red Mushroom. Without Silk Touch, they drop regular Red Mushrooms instead. More details about mushroom biomes can be found in the Mushroom Fields article.
