Errand - spicy mushrooms

i too can't find those, i did find wild nightly mushrooms. the lot with the snail.

They are a bit harder to get. You will find random plants of "strange mushrooms' around the Bramblewood neighborhood (in my game theres 2 large clusters of them right next to the big circle, on the shoreline where the log goes over the creek to the ruins, im not sure if its like that in every save) But each time you harvest the mushrooms you randomly receive one of the new mushrooms. I just had to pick them until I got the spicy mushroom and then planted it and waited a few days to get enough to finish the errand.

If you have Seasons then they are a Winter crop.

You can also receive them from other errands or as a prize at the fair.

This, and you have to hangout in the Bramblewood for awhile before things start to spawn.

Okay I was wondering what season they were, so they are winter and I'm in winter (don't recommend to start in this season btw lol) I will keep looking...

I've accepted an errand and have to forage some spicy mushrooms but I cant find them in the woods anywhere. In fact I cant find any mushrooms at all to forage. Is there a particular spot that they grow in?
Thanks

i found them, same lot with the snail. by the bench where i found wild nightly mushrooms. during winter at night, i believe it was 2am. they just appeared and they were a strange mushroom. but once picked they were spicy mushrooms i was looking for! :)

same lot, by the gazebo i found some more!

Some just appeared by the bench by Cordelia's lot but can't harvest them, can only look. It is 1am. Will try again tomorrow, hopefully they will be ready to harvest.

I had to wait till the last evening of summer between midnight and 6am into the fall
1. Facing the bench by the waterfall opposite the Nightly Mushrooms which won't harvest till Winter... Listed as Strange Mushrooms you don't know what they're till you pick them.
2. There are 3 patches of Strange Mushrooms just in front of the snail path and finally.
3. Another Strange Mushrooms patch in front of the Gazebo.
1 patch turned out to be Charming Mushrooms, but I haven't checked the all the other ones yet.

So, I played almost all day yesterday and I bought my sim one of those cots from Outdoor Retreat & a portable shower from that pack and off we went to the Bramblewood. We “set up camp” near the bench by Cordelia’s Secret Lot up by the top of the waterfall. Mushrooms spawn at about midnight. I have found them in this spot, almost directly across the river from this spot in a wide spot on the bank just a bit to the left of the rabbit stump there, inside the ruins, and near the snail ?. Spicy mushrooms are a winter harvestable and can sometimes be found in the garden stall, you have to check everyday though because their inventory changes a lot. I have had no luck with nightly mushrooms at all. I am not sure if they’re seasonal or not. There was a patch right at the foot of my sim’s cot but they didn’t spawn that night. It’s currently spring in my game so it may be the wrong season for those. In spring I have found verdant, lovely, and charming mushrooms so far. Mushrooms initially present themselves as strange mushrooms and have to be harvested in order to determine what variety they are, with the exception of nightly mushrooms which are labeled with what they are when you mouse over them. I tried looking in Carl’s Sims 4 Guide, but unfortunately he barely covers Cottage Living, and he doesn’t cover foraging or mushrooms at all that I can find.

Edit to add: spicy and the other special mushrooms are also included in some rewards for errands but it’s random and there’s no guarantee which variety you will get.

It took me sometime to find the mushrooms in the wild in Cottage Living. Played the two installed households each over the 4 seasons for them to show up apart from the nightly mushroom which you can see but can't harvest by the ruins. Many of the mushrooms can be achieved through the errands or sometimes found in the shop.

Nightly Mushroom

Verdant and Charming Mushroom these are available to harvest all seasons.

Spicy Mushroom are summer/winter harvestable.

Lovely Mushroom is harvestable fall/spring

Mysterious Mushroom Summer/Spring

There is an area where plants grow in old new henford but unfortunately I cant harvest or do anything in this area which is a shame. There were lovely, nightly and verdant mushrooms growing there in my game.

Nightly mushrooms are winter crops. I found some and kept a few in my inventory to plant them in the winter so I can easily get lots more. I just have to remember to harvest them in the middle of the night.

I love the way they light up when ready for harvest. Makes my garden look creepy. :)
