Mycelium
Mycelium — block.
Obtaining
Mycelium drops itself only when mined with Silk Touch; every other tool and hand mining returns dirt. A shovel is the fastest tool, and the block naturally covers mushroom fields.

Natural generation
Mycelium forms the surface of mushroom fields and is also part of the terrain palette used by that biome. Endermen can carry the block and drop it when defeated while holding it.
| Main biome | Mushroom fields |
|---|---|
| Mob interaction | Endermen can pick up mycelium |
| Block family | Grass blocks |
Usage
The block occupies a standard full volume and is shown with an isometric preview.
Mycelium is a living ground block. It spreads to nearby dirt on random ticks when the light above is high enough; a covering block can make the converted patch revert to dirt. Mushrooms and nether fungi can stay on it in bright areas, and huge mushrooms can grow from it.
| Shape | Full cube |
|---|---|
| Rendering | Isometric preview |
| Spread range | One block up or sideways, three blocks down |
| Light for spread | At least 9 above mycelium |
| Dirt requirement | At least 4 above the target |
| Mushroom support | Mushrooms and nether fungi ignore the usual light limit |
| Dirt path | A shovel converts it to a dirt path |
Sounds
Mycelium uses the grass block sound family for footsteps, breaking, placing, and other generic block interactions.
| Sound family | Grass |
|---|---|
| Note-block instrument | Base drum |
Behavior
Random ticks drive the spread and death checks. When the top surface is clear, the block occasionally emits mycelium particles; plants on dirt are removed when a spreading patch reaches them.
