Errand - spicy mushrooms

I’ve found verdant and lovely but can’t find charmed and also haven’t seen spicy either. Just mysterious mushrooms.

I found some near the lot by the top of the waterfall in the Bramblewood neighborhood. Near that liveable/buildable lot there’s a path that leads to a bench and there are some mushrooms growing near that bench. This is not the bench the Creature Keeper sits at, which where I thought I was at first until I looked around a bit and realized where I was. I also found some along the river bank in the Bramblewood, I believe near the fishing spot there. They’re hard to spot especially if you have Seasons and they’re not in season yet. So I recommend hovering over very bare dirt patch because that’s how I found my first set. For the spicy mushrooms you can also buy those at the stalls to complete the errands or plant them or both. But the other varieties can only b found by foraging from my understanding so if you can find them and harvest them I recommend planting them on your lot too.

You won’t know what mysterious mushrooms are until you pick them, they could turn out to be what you’re looking for. Kind of like in Outdoor Retreat and having to taste the plants to decipher what they are.

So I never see any mushroom spawns. Am I doing something wrong?

Ahhh good to know. So I need to also go there often to create more spawns? My sims are in summer so it’ll be a second but that’s okay. Thank y’all

Yes, youll need to hang out there for a bit before things start to spawn but it can still be a hunt to find them just because of how large the neighborhood is. Also, the mushrooms are a summer and winter seasonal crop, not just winter.

Thanks for the help everyone :) <3

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.

I am beginning to think I have a problem, there are no harvestables of any kind anywhere I have looked in HoB, and it is in the middle of spring. I would have thought that there would be something to grow...in spring but am having no luck of finding anything.
