Mushrooms are a lot more than just fungus. They’re low in sodium. They have almost no fat or cholesterol. They provide vitamin B. They’re delicious when stuffed with meat and cheese.
In Fortnite, though, they just give you five shield, which is also good.
Thankfully, they spawn in a bunch of places all over the map. We’ve compiled a number of images to show you some of the most common places where you can find these blue beauties. These ‘shrooms can be the big difference you need to give you the extra bit of health to stay alive and hunt down a fungal Victory Royale. Eat your heart out, Anna Tsing.
In Fortnite’s season X, mushrooms are still located near trees, especially at Lonely Lodge, Shifty Shafts, and areas surrounding Pleasant Park and Haunted Hills. Whenever there are a lot of trees on the northwest side of the map, you know you’ll likely find some mushrooms.
Mushroom locations map
Shifty Shafts
The area right outside of Shifty Shafts to the west has a ton of mushrooms. Check between the entrance to the mine and the area surrounding the two houses right outside of the region.
Lonely Lodge
Lonely Lodge has a ton of trees, and therefore lots of shade. You can find mushrooms scattered around the area here.
Haunted Hills
A number of ‘shrooms can be found in the forest between Haunted Hills and Snobby Shores, which is appropriately murky.
Junk Junction
The area to the east of Junk Junction has some mushrooms. It’s to the north of where the soccer field used to be.
South of Pleasant Park
Several areas south of Pleasant Park have mushrooms for players to use. They’re usually around mountains and hills, so it’s quite easy to spot them.
