I thought you couldn't bring logs into caves since you have to shimmy your way in. Which cave can you bring logs into?

[turtly.turtly]

There is a way by building a log holder inside the pathway you use to enter caves, YouTube it

Didn't they said mushrooms only grow in caves?

[AttackOnKronos]

have you tried putting a Wall Planter inside the caves? I think it only requires sticks

Guys, you can merely build them indoors, inside your base. I have blueberries and flowers magically growing on the "basement" floor. :3 Although, I do miss being able to lug logs inside of the caves and building traps in their spawn points without exploits. That was pretty sweet. Bonfires were great, too.

easy - go to a cave that has a short rope - pick up 2 logs on your shoulders and simple walk into the hole - don't press E for the rope - just walk int hole = you will drop down along with your logs. Best cave is the cave at the large canny village as the drop down is very short and no mobs in that cave. I have not been able to go through wall cave enterance with logs.

Kinda wierd you can only plant em indoors when they can only be gathered outdoors. Cannibals must be real busy in a hidden cave growing them then taking em out and replanting em.

LOLOL damn, you got me there! Although to be fair, wild mushrooms and cultivated ones are grown quite differently. :3 One of the edible mushroom species in-game ONLY grows outdoors in forests; the rest should realistically require dark and humid and indoor growing conditions for gardening. That's why you can find..uh.. "special" mushrooms in fields; but you can't simply plant them outside if you want to conveniently harvest them. Weird, right?

Edit: I should point out that people in the right biome can make ideal conditions for them to grow in season; but they are not sterile spores when grafted, and without permaculture methods being empoyed the chance of success outdoors is extremely low and uncontrolled. Obviously, poisonous spores will also take advantage of the area- which is why indoor is safe and ideal. I see people trying to grow chantrelles all the time- they require the right trees, humidity, precise soil conditions, shade, excess of moss, etc- and they have mimics that can easily kill you after being misidentified.

I also noticed that XD looks like there was no point planting them at all
