The Mushroom Forest is a biome characterized by a type of towering coral known as Tree Mushrooms, as well as many other types of life forms, especially flora.

Description

The Mushroom Forest is essentially a forest made of Tree Mushrooms. It has a sandy bottom, with large patches of brown seagrass interspersed between the large corals.

The largest of the Mushroom Forests borders the Dunes, Grassy Plateaus, a small portions of the Safe Shallows and one of the Kelp Forests. It is dominated by a single Giant Tree Mushroom. The player is advised to stay cautious while exploring this area, as Bonesharks tend to lurk in the dense Tree Mushrooms.

Wreck 9 can also be found in the largest Mushroom Forest.

The Mushroom Forest will serve as one of the entrances to the Lost River.
