Red Mushroom in Minecraft trading

Red Mushroom is a Wandering Trader exclusive: no job villager buys or sells it at all, so the roaming merchant with the two llamas is the only source, at 1 emerald for 3.

Red Mushroom spreads on its own in low light, which makes one specimen enough to start a renewable farm. It also feeds into suspicious stew and rabbit stew, the two recipes that make mushrooms worth keeping around. No recipe in Java 26.2 produces it: it drops from zombies, and it comes out of red mushroom block.

Your odds of finding Red Mushroom

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades red mushroom is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the wandering trader (common pool): 6.6% of them carry it, so it takes about 15.2 of them on average before one does.

Chance and daily throughput per villager for Red Mushroom
Villager	Tier	Villagers with this offer	Rolls to see it	Most from one villager	After a cure
Wandering Trader	common pool	6.6% (5 in 76)same in Bedrock	about 15.2	12 red mushroom in total4 uses, he never restocks	cannot be cured

The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The wandering trader has no workstation and never restocks, so his row is everything that offer will ever give you, and he has no reputation to earn, so curing does nothing for him. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.

Who trades Red Mushroom, and at what price

The Wandering Trader sells Red Mushroom for 1 emerald for 3. He does not buy red mushroom back: that offer runs one way.

No standard villager profession lists Red Mushroom in its trade table, so the trader above is the whole market for it.

Is buying Red Mushroom from the Wandering Trader worth it?

He asks 1 emerald for 3, which works out at well under an emerald each, and 16 of the other 75 come cheaper. Price is the easy part: he draws his stock from a shared pool, so catching one that happens to be carrying red mushroom is the real constraint.

Where red mushroom sits in the 76 offers he can carry
	Acacia Log		1 for 8
	Gunpowder		1 for 4
	Red Mushroom		1 for 3
	Rooted Dirt		1 for 2
	Melon Seeds		1
	Red Tulip		1
	Cactus		3
	Enchanted Iron Pickaxe		6

What 1 emerald costs in goods

an oak boat against 26 flint for the same 1 emerald, 26 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Leatherworker at 37.5 real seconds of shelf, gathering not counted.

How to actually get Red Mushroom from the trader

The Wandering Trader is not part of any village. He arrives on his own near where you are playing, with two leashed trader llamas behind him, stays for roughly forty minutes to an hour, and then vanishes whether or not you traded with him. There is no workstation to place and no job block to break, so the usual tricks for steering a villager toward a particular offer do nothing.

He does not buy red mushroom. He takes six kinds of item and this is not one of them, so the offer runs one way: emeralds out of your inventory, red mushroom into it.

Each trader carries only a slice of the full stock list, so the one standing in front of you may simply not have red mushroom today. If he does and you want more than one visit's worth, put a name tag on him: a named mob will not despawn, which turns a passing merchant into a permanent shop you can come back to.

Tips for trading Red Mushroom

What a full stack costs: he asks 1 emerald for 3 red mushrooms, so a full stack of 64 means 22 emeralds across 22 trades.
Also on the wandering trader's list: lily pad, sand, red sand, pointed dripstone, small dripleaf, moss block.

Red Mushroom trading FAQ

Which villager sells Red Mushroom?

None of them. Only the Wandering Trader carries red mushroom, at 1 emerald for 3. There is no profession to level for it and no trading hall to build.

Can you sell Red Mushroom to a villager for emeralds?

No. The trader only ever sells, and no job villager lists red mushroom in its trade table either, so there is no way to turn red mushroom into emeralds by trading.
