The Mushroom (also called Bittercap mushroom or Bittercap) may be grown from a mushroom spore (taking 220 minutes to grow) by level 53 farmers in the mushroom patch near Canifis.

Once grown, mushrooms may be added to a compost bin to make supercompost (requiring 15 mushrooms, or a combination of supercompost items). Eight mushrooms may be used to pay a farmer to look after a whiteberry bush. Four mushrooms are the main ingredient for brewing Moonlight Mead at cooking level 44 for 380 cooking experience.

They may be chopped into a bowl with a knife in your inventory at level 46 cooking to make Fried mushrooms for 60 cooking experience. Fried mushrooms heal 50 Life Points. Most cooks combine the mushrooms with fried onions and a buttered baked potato to make a mushroom and onion potato.

Mushrooms are also dropped by Cockroach soldiers. Mushrooms do not usually sell very quickly. One counter-example is 3 December 2009, when Jagex introduced a fairy ring in the Ancient Cavern that must be planted with 5 mushrooms in order to function. This caused the mushrooms to sell extremely quickly around that time.
