A shelf mushroom is a fungus that grows on poplar trees. It has two sizes and causes entities to bounce when they fall on it.

Obtaining

Breaking

Shelf mushrooms can be broken instantly with any tool or by hand. A shelf mushroom also breaks if:

• the block it is attached to is moved or destroyed.
• water or lava flows into its space.
• a piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space.

A shelf mushroom always drops itself when broken. If the shelf mushroom is large, 2 units are dropped.

Natural generation

Shelf mushrooms on fallen poplar trees

Both small and large shelf mushrooms generate attached to poplar logs in dappled forests, on both standing and fallen trees.

Trading

Villager		Probability		Villager wants	Player receives	Trades in stock	Villager experience	Price multiplier
		JE	BE
Wandering Trader	Ordinary	6%	6%	Emerald	3 × Shelf Mushroom	12	—	—

Mob loot

In Bedrock Edition, wandering traders have a chance of 25% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 3 shelf mushrooms when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Post-generation

Poplar trees grown from poplar saplings can generate with shelf mushrooms attached to the logs.

Usage

Shelf mushrooms can be attached to any block with a full side surface. Unlike red and brown mushrooms, shelf mushrooms do not have any light level requirement for placement and survival.

Its holding position is specifically set such that it appears to be growing out of the player's arm, rather than being gripped as an object.

Bouncing

Entities landing on shelf mushrooms bounce with 75% of the impact velocity; however, the entity still takes fall damage, similar to beds. The entity's fall distance is set to 50% of the actual distance fallen, which results in the entity taking slightly less than half of the normal fall damage.

Growing

Bone meal can be used on a small shelf mushroom to grow it into a large shelf mushroom. Shelf mushrooms do not grow on their own.
