How does fungal soil work?

I planted a couple pieces down and got nada even after waiting ages.

Wondering the same. Have you tried watering them?

You do know, that nothing will spawn if you´re near to the area?

They work like groundslime or the new caveling grounds. Plant them, go away, come back, tada... mushrooms and shroomies (new mobs) spawned.
No need to watering or something.

This. I put a strip down in our base and we've maybe gotten like 5 mushrooms in the past couple hours, and I put a giant patch of it outside our base and it grows consistently enough
