Obtaining bittercap mushrooms

It may be grown from a bittercap mushroom spore (taking up to 240 minutes to grow) by players with level 53 Farming in the mushroom patch near Canifis. This may yield up to six mushrooms. You do not need a spade in your inventory or toolbelt to harvest this item.

Mushrooms are also dropped, one to three at a time, by cockroach soldiers. They are a common drop.

Mushrooms do not usually sell very quickly. One counter-example is on 3 December 2009, when Jagex introduced fairy ring with code BJQ in the Ancient Cavern that must be planted with 5 mushrooms in order to function. This caused the mushrooms to sell extremely quickly around that time.

Players with at least 74 farming are advised against planting these, as growing Morchella mushrooms are far more profitable.
