As a center of the 0.4.2 update, players wanting to grow their Schedule 1 empire can now create and sell psychedelic Shrooms to their customers. This update brings new drugs, equipment, and opportunities to expand your enterprise, ridding the regions of rival drug lords and keeping a lot more cash in your pocket.
Shrooms aren’t available straight away, and new players will have to build their business big enough before dealers will offer them the chance to purchase the resources they need. Below are the key ways to achieve this level of notoriety.
How To Unlock Shrooms
To start adding this new product to your empire, you first need to have unlocked the Downtown region of the map. To do this, the cartels’ influence in the areas needs to decrease. The good way to do this is to use spray cans and ‘tag’ sections of the map. This will let buyers know you’re here to stay. Run around with the can equipped, and you’ll see white outlines on the walls that you can spray.
Another surefire way to reduce the cartels’ influence is to eliminate their dealers. If you see anyone standing around, be sure to check if they’re waiting for someone. If they are waiting, join them, and when the dealer arrives, kill them off. Sometimes the dealer themselves will be waiting, and if you find them, do the same.
A progress bar at the top of the screen will tell you when the cartel’s influence is decreasing, and once the Downtown area is unlocked, befriend Kevin and Elizabeth ASAP. These two are necessary in having Fungal Phil reach out to you, and it’s Phil who will make it possible to start growing Shrooms.
Spray-painting walls and getting rid of rival dealers will raise suspicion from police if they are nearby. Make sure the coast is clear before doing either of these tasks. Using a bat or machete is the quieter option when tackling rivals.

How To Grow Shrooms
Once Fungal Phil contacts you via text, he’ll give you a list of instructions. These will be to purchase items from Oscar at the Warehouse, order a dead drop from Phil himself, and buy an AC Unit from the Hardware Store (and to save you some time, also get a Spray Bottle). Once you’ve decided where your setup will be, it’s very easy to grow your new product.
Firstly, use the Mushroom Spawn Station to add the Grain Bag and Spore Syringe. After clicking the cap of the needle to remove it, you’ll need to use A and D on the keyboard to turn the syringe and pierce the bag in the black square. Then click the plunger.
Place your Mushroom Bed down with enough space around it to also place the AC Unit and add the Mushroom Substrate. When you’ve done this, also add the Shroom Spawn you’ve just made and click it repeatedly to break it into small chunks.
Then use the onscreen prompts to mix it into the soil. When required and prompted to do so, fill up and use the Spray Bottle to water the mixture using the Spacebar.
Shrooms won’t grow at all unless the surroundings are the correct temperature, and this drug needs to be below 15 degrees. Place the AC Unit near the Mushroom Bed and take note of the temperature that hovers over the bed; this is the current temperature of the growing shrooms.
Once the drug’s growth reaches 100 per cent, use trimmers and click E to harvest the grown shrooms, just as you would with a weed plant. From here, you can use the mixing table to create new concoctions or simply bag them straight away and hand them off to your dealers.
Mushrooms can also be found fully grown in the tunnels of the sewers. Make sure your torch is on and look at the corners and walls when down there to collect them.
