Mycelium is one of those frustrating resources in Crashlands 2—the game tells you to collect it, but doesn’t give you any hints on where or how. If you’ve spent hours wandering aimlessly (like we did), then don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. In this guide, we’ll break down exactly where to find Mycelium in Crashlands 2 and the best locations to farm it, so you can stop guessing and get back to progressing through the game.
Why Do You Need Mycelium in Crashlands 2
During the Dead Ends quest in Crashlands 2, you'll encounter your first requirement to collect Mycelium. Baarli, the researcher studying the Withering, will task you with gathering special components to advance her work. She specifically requests the following items:
- 8x Popwood Anthers
- 6x Chargestones
- 3x Mycelium
How to Find Mycelium in Crashlands 2
In the early stages of Crashlands 2, you won't be able to obtain Mycelium through typical means like defeating aliens or harvesting regular plants. The key to unlocking this resource is completing the "Unfamiliar Roots" research first at your base.
Once you've finished this research, you'll gain access to Mycelium by harvesting Dipshrooms - distinctive pink mushrooms with bulbous caps and root-like tendrils connecting them to the ground.
For the best hunting grounds, head to the Spark Flats or Thunder Fields regions, where these fungi are particularly abundant. The game actually helps you locate them by marking Dipshroom-rich areas with pink coloration on your map, making your search much easier in Crashlands 2.
