Where is the Mushroom in Fortnite? Find Bud the Mushroom in Chapter 2 Season 3
By Andrew Lin
Where is the Mushroom in Fortnite? Chapter 2 Season 3 went live earlier today, and some players have come across a helpful little mushroom chap in Weeping Woods.
Bud the Mushroom is a new mechanic for the new season that was leaked early and made accessible in-game ahead of schedule.
Where is the Mushroom in Fortnite?
If you were lucky enough to meet Bud early, you would find it sleeping in the Weeping Woods. You have to dance to awaken it, and then feed him 100 wood to earn his friendship. It'll follow you around after that, giving you shield regeneration up to 100. In a weird way, Bud is like a campfire for shields.
Eventually, Bud will turn gray and stop moving. Just head back to it and dance again to reinvigorate the mushroom pet. When you do, it will conjure some tiny arms and floss with you. It's kind of of cute, but also kind of cursed.
Unfortunately, it looks like Bud was a little early to the party, as it was removed from the game shortly after being discovered. We'll probably see Bud again later in the season, when it was intended for it to appear.
