Mooshroom

The Mooshroom is a passive mob found exclusively in Mushroom Fields biomes. It is a rare variant of the cow with red mushroom growing on its body. Red Mooshroom spawns naturally in herds of 4–8 on mycelium blocks with a light level of 9 or higher, with a 5% chance of spawning as babies. Mooshroom drops 1–3 raw beef (or cooked beef if killed with fire) and 0–2 leather when killed. It also drops 1–3 experience upon death. If sheared, it drops 5 red mushroom and transforms into a regular cow, with the mushrooms never growing back.

Mooshroom can be bred using wheat, but cannot breed with regular cows. When two red Mooshroom breed, there is a 1⁄1024 chance the baby will be brown instead. Baby Mooshroom takes 20 minutes to grow into adults, but feeding them wheat reduces the remaining growing time by 10%. Baby Mooshroom doesn't have mushrooms on its back until it reaches adulthood.

Mooshroom behaves like cows, walking around slowly and aimlessly while occasionally huffing and mooing. It avoids danger like cliffs, fire, and lava, but doesn't avoid water. It will follow players holding wheat. Red Mooshroom produces milk when right-clicked with an empty bucket and mushroom stew when right-clicked with a bowl. A red Mooshroom transforms into a brown Mooshroom when struck by lightning within 4 blocks, taking no damage from the transformation.
