This building uses Growth Medium to grow Mushrooms.
Clicking on the building gives the option to add either Known Growth Medium or Custom Growth Medium. After adding the Growth Medium, you can add a Jar of Spores. The message 'You gently shake the spores across the growth medium and hope for the best' is displayed in Main.
After planting the spores, the Farm displays the type of Compost used, the type of spores and the date the spores were planted. There is a 24-hour growth period where the spores will not fruit (give any mushrooms).
After 1 (in-game) hour, the farm displayed the message 'Nothing much is happening yet'.
If the Growth Medium is suitable for the type of spores planted, the Fungus Farm will eventually display the message 'The Mycellium is growing'.
After some more time (exact amount TBC), the option to 'Dig out the mycellium' appears in the Utility menu. This allows the Fungus Farm to be re-used. No materials are returned.
Any shrooms which may spawn will spawn at the normal spawn time of the Wild Mushroom you planted. The Farm displays the message 'The Mycellium is fruiting!' and mushrooms begin to appear around the Farm. Picking the mushrooms can give more than one shroom per harvest (max of 2 per harvest seen so far). Total yield for the shroom window has been up to nnnn (more data needed).
It has been confirmed that Known Growth Media give higher yields than Custom Growth Media.
Exact details of how to grow each Mushroom is still TBC.
