How to grow Shrooms in Schedule 1 (Mushrooms guide)

Mushrooms are coming soon to Schedule 1, and they’re already available in the beta branch of the game.

Mushrooms were voted earlier by the community to be part of the next major update. Expectations were for it to arrive in November, but it has taken Tyler a little longer. This guide will update you on all the steps required to grow your own batch.

How to get Mushrooms in Schedule 1

Obtaining your first batch of Mushrooms will take some time if you’re just a beginner. It’s tied with a quest called ‘Vibin’ on the ‘Cybin’. While this isn’t a full-fledged mission guide, I will briefly explain what needs to be done.

• Open your mobile, and you’ll get a text from Fungal Phil.
• Next, purchase Spores, grain bags, and substrate.
• You can order these items as a dead drop.
• Go to the Hardware Store and get a spray bottle and an AC unit.
• Get the items you ordered as a dead drop, and then go to Oscar after sunset.
• You’ll need a Mushroom Spawner and a Mushroom Bed.

Go to a property of your choice and place the Mushroom Spawner. The Spawner has two slots where you put the Grain Bag and the Syringe. Remove the Syringe’s cap and push it into the bag. Lay down the Mushroom Bed, and take the output out of the Spawner.

Take the substrate and dump it on the Mushroom Bed. Put down the Mushroom Spawn (or Shroom spawn) on the substrate and put the soil over them for the growth phase. Place the AC, and lower the room temperature.

Next, take the Water Sprayer and spray in five different spots. You’re now all done, so just wait. Once the Mushrooms have grown, you have to pick them up and package them before selling.

If you want better quality Shrooms, you can add Fertilizers to the growth process. You can also use a Drying Rack to get customized quality products. That’s how easy it is to unlock the Shrooms and grow them. Do note that this is only available in the beta track as of writing.

The Lost Colony DLC in ARK Survival Ascended has been one of the biggest content updates to date, and it has its own share of bosses to take down.

The new expansion and all the related content revolve around the Arat Prime map. There are two main bosses on the new map: the Lost King and the Lost Queen. This guide will provide you with all the essential information to know if you’re looking to complete the expansion as quickly as possible.

All ARK Survival Ascended bosses in Lost Colony DLC

As mentioned earlier, there are two main bosses to take down: Lost King and Lost Queen.

Lost King

The Lost King is actually the main boss of Arat Prime. We already knew about his looks, all thanks to the trailer. You can find him at his palace, which is the hardest stage to complete. To enter, you’ll need to craft a Red-Handed relic. Lost King comes in three different variants, with each having its own requirements.

Alpha

• Five Alpha Ossidon Skill
• Ten Alpha Zombie Brainn
• 200 Prime Aberrant Sigil
• 200 Prime Crimson Sigil
• 15 Neophyte Horns

Beta

• Onne Alpha Ossidon Skull
• Five Alpha Zombie Brain
• 150 Greater Aberrant Sigil
• 150 Greater Crimson Sigil
• Ten Neophyte Horns

Gamma

• One Alpha Zombie Brain
• 100 Minor Crimson Sigil
• 100 Minor Aberrant Sigil
• Five Neophyte Horns

The Lost King is one of the most challenging enemies to take down, but doing so has its own rewards. For one, you get to complete the new story, which is pretty intense. This is also the only legitimate way of gaining a Gigadesmodus for yourself.

Lost Queen

Once you defeat the Lost King, you’ll have to face the Lost Queen. You’ll get to know that she was defeated by Lost King, who made her his queen. The location is the same as the fight directly transits to Lost Queen.

Like Lost King, the Lost Queen battle will have mutople phases. Once you deal enough damage, she will become temporarily immune. You’ll then have to break the beam to prevent her from healing and continue the fight.

Once you defeat her, interact with the codex to lower the castle shields and turn the Arat Prime back to its original form. Defeating the Lost Queen officially completes the full Lost Colony DLC campaign.
