How to Get and Use Growshrooms in Once Human

Published Date :

As the name suggests, Growshrooms in Once Human are deviants that help you grow plants. It’s a large mushroom that assists in growing crops faster, leading to more options of food and crafting materials for you. So, if you’d like to know how to get this valuable asset to help with food production and self-sufficiency in the post-apocalyptic world, here’s how you can unlock this creature.

How to Get Growshrooms in Once Human

Unlike other deviants, you can’t find a Growshroom in a specific location in the wild. Instead, you need to harvest mushrooms to have a chance of getting this deviant. It’s random so you might have to keep doing this multiple times to get one.

So, explore the world for normal mushrooms – the best spot is in the Sunbury middle school caves area and when you harvest one, you might just get this deviant if you’re lucky. Aside from this location, clusters grow in forest areas across the map. Simply approach one, look at it and press the F key on your keyboard to harvest.

If you’re not keen on heading out for this deviant each time, you can also grow mushrooms in your farm and you still have a random chance of obtaining a Growshroom. To grow crops indoors, you will need Grow Lights, Automatic irrigation and fertilizer, so be sure to check our guides to know how to get them for better yield.

How to Grow a Growshroom at your Base

  • To grow a Growshroom deviant, you need Mushroom seeds which can be obtained by harvesting mushrooms because when you do that, there’s a chance you also get seeds from the loot.
  • Plant them in Loamy Soil within a Planter box at your base.
  • Then, you need water to help them grow – choose Boiled Water and wait for the germination. And once the crop is ready, harvest it.
