What are Mushrooms and What Do They Do in Minecraft

Mushrooms are a fungus that grows in Minecraft, they come in two colors red and brown. By themselves they're useless, but they play a key ingredient in making a variety of food items in-game. They can also be planted but they have to be in poorly lit areas, and if you use Bone Meal on them they'll turn into giant Mushrooms.
