ARC Raiders Mushrooms Guide: Maps, Locations & Farming Routes

If you’re on the Scrappy grind, you need a whole lot of mushrooms. Thankfully, ARC Raiders mushrooms farming is a repeatable loop: look for a specific world modifier, pick the right map, hit a few nature hotspots, and extract. 

Read on to learn about mushroom locations, how to maximize mushroom spawn rate, and how to get them ASAP. This guide covers the best mushroom spawn locations on Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Blue Gate.

What are mushrooms used for in ARC Raiders?

Mushrooms are an Uncommon nature consumable and a quick, small heal. They are handy when you’re trying to save proper meds for a real fight. However, the main reason most players hard-farm them is workbench progression. You’ll need a whole 12 mushrooms for the final Scrappy upgrade, afterall.

Where to find mushrooms in ARC Raiders

Mushrooms tend to spawn where it’s damp or moist, in crevices, nooks, and crannies protected by shadows. Look for tree trunks, fallen logs, planters, and wet pipes. And yet don’t expect guaranteed spawns. Mushrooms, like most things in ARC Raiders, are RNG, of course.

Mushroom spawn logic

• Mushrooms have preset spawn locations, but their spawn likelihood is sporadic.
• Mushrooms don’t respawn mid-raid, and likely spawns could already be looted.

How to get mushrooms fast in ARC Raiders

Visit a specific map location during the right map condition to maximize your mushroom haul.

Lush Blooms event

In ARC Raiders, the Lush Blooms map condition is a scheduled dynamic event that appears periodically on specific maps and boosts the availability of nature-themed loot (plants and fruits). When it’s active, you’ll see more flora pickups in the usual vegetation zones. Wicker Baskets appear as high-value containers for multiple items, including mushrooms. Lush Blooms is part of the game’s event rotation and appears on the global schedule alongside other conditions, such as Night Raid or Electromagnetic Storm.

How often does Lush Blooms appear?

• On Dam Battlegrounds, Lush Blooms happens twice a day.
• On Blue Gate, Lush Blooms happens once a day.

Best maps for mushroom farming

Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Blue Gate are the best maps for mushroom farming.

Dam Battlegrounds mushroom locations

Dam Battlegrounds is brimming with mushrooms. This is your go-to place.🍄🍄🍄 

Hydroponic Dome Complex is your main stop. Sweep the swampy edges outside, then check the interior planters and irrigation areas where vegetation tends to clump. Scan tree trunks and any downed logs on the way in and out.

Water Treatment Control is your backup: look along damp corridors and especially around pipe runs (mushrooms can attach to pipes/walls). If both are looted, do a quick pass through shaded wreckage spots near water. Mushrooms can sit right on the metalwork.

Spaceport mushroom locations

On Spaceport, focus on The Trench/East Container Yard side and the nearby tree line.

Blue Gate mushroom location

On Blue Gate, check all around the Raider’s Regufe in The Forest. Here, mushrooms mostly grow on trees.

ARC Raiders mushroom farming tips

• Spawn check: If you’re far from the mushroom spawns, don’t force it. Loot something else and try next time.
• Exit plan: As soon as you’ve cleared the trees, rotate straight to extraction. If shots are popping off nearby, disengage as mushrooms aren’t worth a full kit loss.
• Unexpected spots: Mushrooms can sit right on the metalwork (pipes, walkways).
• Insurance: Pack a cheap or free loadout and use a safe pocket.
