Brown Mooshroom

Brown Mooshroom is a passive mob. It is a rare variant of the cow with brown mushrooms growing on its body. Brown mooshrooms never spawn naturally and can only be obtained by transforming a red mooshroom with lightning or through breeding. A red and a brown parent give a calf of either color, each half the time. When two brown mooshrooms breed, there is a 1⁄1024 chance the baby will be red instead. If sheared, they drop 5 brown mushrooms and transform into a regular cow.

Brown mooshrooms can be bred using wheat, but cannot breed with regular cows. Baby brown mooshrooms take 20 minutes to grow into adults, but feeding them wheat reduces the remaining growing time by 10%. Baby brown mooshrooms don't have mushrooms on their backs until they reach adulthood.

Brown mooshrooms behave like cows, walking around slowly and aimlessly while occasionally huffing and mooing. They avoid danger like cliffs, fire, and lava. They will follow players holding wheat. Brown mooshrooms produce milk when right-clicked with an empty bucket and mushroom stew when right-clicked with a bowl. However, brown mooshrooms can do something red ones cannot: when fed a small flower and then right-clicked with a bowl, they produce suspicious stew with effects corresponding to that flower type. After producing suspicious stew once, they return to producing regular mushroom stew until fed another flower. A Brown Mooshroom transforms back into a red mooshroom when struck by lightning, taking no damage from the transformation.
