When you’re on a mission to cultivate as many different kinds of mushrooms as you may inMudborne, since each mushroom is the source of a different trait change in the magic muds you’reusing to breed new frogs, you’ll want to get the most out of the weather conditions in which each one grows.
Depending on which compost recipe you’ve placed into your cultivators, you can expect a range of different effects. Whether you’re trying to capitalize quickly and grow a bunch of mushrooms really quickly, or you’re more patient for a bigger yield, these compost recipes can help.
Effect
Spores will not bloom.
Hopefully you only made a single batch of this useless compost before you realized your mistake! Using mostly items from the dream world with the logs you can find inany of the three realms(including the Gateway Nexus), this compost ensures that no matter what you do, no matter the conditions, you won’t get mushrooms.
If you’re making the compost just for sake of logging every compost recipe in Mudborne, you’re always able to throw things away in the game by dragging them to the trash slot in your inventory. Just make sure you’re ready to permanently erase whatever you’re putting it over.
Standard compost allowing for standard spore blooms.
There’s nothing wrong with the standard kind of compost you’ll make from mostcombinations of items in Mudborne– basic becomes the standard for things for a reason! Leafy Compost is the most common kind of compost you’re likely to produce, but at least, unlike the last entry, it allows for some spore growth!
If you’re looking to collect some mushrooms that don’t have special requirements, or you’ve met said requirements but only need a handful of thatspecies of mushroom, Leafy Compost will be there to help.
Prevents changes in moisture from snowfall.
If you’ve been up to the Climate Control region yet, then you’ll likely have seen how prevalent snow and cold is up there – there are evenlittle frogs frozen overin the icy water, it’s so brutally bitter! If you’re trying to grow some cold weather spores up that way, you may want to use some Insulated Compost.
By filling your cultivators with Insulated Compost on the Climate Control map, you’ll be able to grow mushroom spores regardless of potentially snowy conditions. While some mushrooms and the odd critters prefer snow, you’ll likely struggle to grow much under the snowfall, so warming compost can definitely help!
Prevents changes in temperature from rainfall.
Climate Control isn’t unlocked until a decent portion into the game’s story, though, so snow will definitely not be the precipitation you’re met with the most. On every map except Climate Control, your dampness comes from rainfall instead, but if you’re looking to prevent your cultivators from changing with the weather, consider Absorbent Compost.
Like the Insulated Compost you use in the snow, we’ve inched the Absorbent Compost ahead for its flexibility. You’ll spend plenty of time on maps where it rains instead of snows cultivating mushrooms, so don’t let a little pesky rainfall slow you down.
Slower spore growth with a higher final mushroom yield.
Some of the mutations you’ll need to breed into your frogs as you pass traits down through generations will requirequitea few mushrooms to pull off. If you know you need a good number of a certain type of mushroom, why not fill your cultivators with Rich Compost?
Doing so will slow the growing time of any spores that appear in the cultivator, risking exposure to weather prevented by the previous two compost recipes, but when you harvest your cultivator plots, you’ll receive plenty more mushrooms than you would with other kinds of compost.
Faster spore growth with a lower mushroom yield.
Say the opposite is true, though – you need a couple of this one odd mushroom that requires extremely specific conditions to grow. Maybe you’re growing a sunny weather mushroom, but the forecast is calling for a huge storm soon that will make conditions too soggy to get the mushroom you need.
That’s where Loose Compost is most handy. When placed into your cultivators, new spores come in much faster than with other kinds of compost, at the cost of ensuring that you always pick only one mushroom from each plot. If you need a couple spores and the storm is on its way, toss Loose Compost in and harvest ASAP.
Lasts longer than any other kind of compost.
With so much work to do to replenish the population of the pond after that mysterious storm that has everyone hibernating, you might not always have time to keep an eye on your mushroom cultivators. If you’ve got business to attend to elsewhere – a new species of frog is done growing or a rare bug is nearby – use Compact Compost.
This combination of items meshes into a compost that stays healthy and fertile for much longer than the normal compost types, stretching out how long you can rely on mushrooms beginning to spore where you’ve got that cultivator. Run off and come back fro your spores without a care.
Increases the chances of spores forming.
No matter what kind of compost you’re using to grow mushrooms in Mudborne, the overall goal of it is togrow mushrooms, but even the right conditions and time of day aren’t a guarantee that you’ll get what you need. Why not boost your chances of a harvest with Mineral Compost?
Balancing the best of the greenery from both the waking and dreaming worlds, you’ll quickly boost the chances of your mushrooms coming in by using this compost. Just like in real life, plants thrive in soil that encourages them to grow big and strong, so use Mineral Compost to fit that bill in Mudborne.
