Mushrooms in ARC Raiders are mainly found as environmental resources on specific maps, especially Dam Battlegrounds and Spaceport, often attached to trees or near swampy/vegetated areas. Certain events and modifiers, like Lush Bloom, and a few “guaranteed” spawn trees make farming them much easier and more consistent.

Where to find mushrooms (quick answer)

  • Dam Battlegrounds:
    • West side of the map, especially around the Hydroponic Dome Complex and the southern forests.
* Check fallen trees and trunks near the central swamp area; mushrooms often grow on their sides or on trees by swampy water.
  • Spaceport:
    • Search the Trenches area between East and West Container Yards, north side of the map.
* Players report a reliable spawn on a tree in The Trench beneath the Hangar/Hatch, often giving 3–4 mushrooms, up to 6 during Lush Bloom.

How mushrooms usually spawn

  • On the environment:
    • Growing on the sides of trees, especially in wet or swampy zones.
* On pipes or structures near water, and sometimes hidden under bushes on the ground.
  • From containers/events:
    • Inside wicker baskets that spawn during the Lush Bloom map modifier, which greatly boosts nature resource drops.
* These baskets can appear across affected maps, and are one of the most efficient ways to stockpile mushrooms fast.

Fast farming tips

  • Focused routes:
    • Dam Battlegrounds: loop the Hydroponic Dome Complex, southern forest, then sweep around the central swamp checking every fallen or “mushroom-covered” tree.
* Spaceport: run directly to the known Trench tree near the Hatch/Hangar area, grab the mushrooms, then extract or reset the run to repeat.
  • Resetting and safety:
    • Many players treat mushroom runs as quick “material sprints”: grab the guaranteed spawn, safe-pocket resources, then die/surrender or extract to reset spawns and repeat.
* Bringing basic healing and mobility tools helps you sprint in, loot, and reset quickly without committing to a full mission.

Extra notes & community wisdom

  • Keep an eye on the map mods: when you see increased vegetation or the Lush Bloom modifier, prioritize that map for mushroom runs.
  • If you are struggling on Dam Battlegrounds, many recent community discussions suggest Spaceport’s guaranteed tree as the most beginner-friendly spot to farm consistently.
