Crimson Desert Mystical Pine Mushroom: Location And Fix
The Mystical Pine Mushroom is one of those quest items that makes it feel like you are missing something, especially when you get to the cave and it is just not there. It does spawn, but it is tied to the right quest progress and sometimes needs a reset to show up.
Where To Find Mystical Pine Mushroom In Crimson Desert
The Mystical Pine Mushroom is found inside a cave in Pororin Forest, specifically deep inside Porin Cave under a large tree near the Shai village. Note: we’ve included a video below showing exactly where to get it.
You get it during the Young Monk’s Request quest, which is part of the Mushrooms Growing Among Poisons chain.
To actually reach it:
Go to Pororin Forest near the Shai children’s village
Find the cave entrance under a large tree or root system
Enter the cave and move to the deepest section
Pick up the Mystical Pine Mushroom from the ground
Regular pine mushrooms do not count, only the one inside the cave works for the quest.
How To Unlock The Cave Without Getting Knocked Out
If you are getting hit with sleep darts or dragged out, you are missing a required step.
You need to complete the Trembling Woods quest chain first.
Get knocked out by the Shai a few times
Talk to the child NPC that gives you the follow up quest
Retrieve the Pororin Relic from the giant tree
Return and finish that quest
Once that is done, you can enter the village and cave freely without getting stunned.
How To Get Through The Cave Safely
Inside the cave, the biggest problem is the red poison mushrooms.
They do not deal damage, but they will knock you out constantly.
Use dodge rolls to move through spore clouds
Hit mushrooms with melee or ranged attacks to clear them
Move slowly and do not rush through everything
The cave is short, it just feels annoying if you get chain knocked down.
Why The Mystical Pine Mushroom Is Not Showing Up
This is where most people get stuck.
If the mushroom is missing, it is usually one of these:
The area has not properly reset
The quest is not fully progressed
The spawn bugged after entering
To fix it:
Sleep or pass time and come back later
Leave the area completely and return
Reload your save
Give it a few in game days
Players have reported it appearing after the cave resets, even if it was missing before.
Important Things To Know About The Mushroom
It only spawns inside the cave
It is tied to the quest, not a random drop
Regular pine mushrooms will not complete the objective
If you are picking up mushrooms outside, you are in the wrong spot.
Final Blurb
The Mystical Pine Mushroom is not actually hard to get, it just feels that way when the cave messes with you or the spawn does not show up right away. Once the quest is set up correctly and the area resets, it appears exactly where it should, sitting at the back of the cave waiting to be grabbed.
