Monster Hunter World: Gourmet Shroomcap Locations
Monster Hunter Worldplayersthat are working on the Fungal Flexin' in the Ancient Forest quest should focus on interacting with theUnique Mushroom Coloniesthat appear on the Ancient Forest map. Indeed, those gathering points have a very high chance of awarding Gourmet Shroomcaps, and they appear as pink icons on the in-game map. If a player has yet to reveal any of those icons, they should simply reference the map below, which showcases a route that can be taken to access numerous Unique Mushroom Colonies.
Players can use the gathering filter on the in-game map to make locating Unique Mushroom Colonies much easier.Monster Hunter Worldfanscan also use the map’s “set waypoint” feature to create a scoutfly path to the gathering points. While this is certainly not mandatory, it can be helpful if the player is not starting from the Ancient Forest’s Southwest Camp.
To note, if a player has not obtained all 20 Gourmet Shroomcaps after visiting the Unique Mushroom Colonies shown on the map that is above, they should simply return to area four and harvest them again. Indeed, these gathering points replenish after just three minutes, making them an unlimited source for Gourmet Shroomcaps. That said, fans should certainly feel free to look for Unique Mushroom Colonies in other areas, as they are found all overMonster Hunter World’s Ancient Forest.
Once a player has 20 Gourmet Shroomcaps in hand, they will be given the opportunity to leave the Ancient Forest.
