Silent Shroom

By
Vincent Lau

Silent Shrooms provide a stealth effect when cooked, but they also make you glow in the dark. (The last part is a lie.)

A strange mushroom that glows softly in the forest at night. Cooking it into a dish unlocks the nutrients in its cap, resulting in a meal that will allow you to move stealthily.

Raw Effect:

  • Recovery: 0.5 heart

Recipe Effect:

  • Prefix: Sneaky
  • Potency: Level 1 (+2 points)
  • Duration: +2 minutes
  • Recovery: +1 heart

Where to Find

Silent Shrooms are commonly found around East Hyrule. Since they glow in the dark, you can find them more easily when it’s night, but be wary of skeletal monsters on the prowl.

(1 of 2) West side of Ruto Mountain in the Lanayru region.

A nice place to gather Silent Shrooms is the west side of Ruto Mountain, south of Zora’s Domain. If you’ve completed the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, you can fast-travel to the divine beast and then glide north-east.

(1 of 4) Hickaly Woods, south-east from Dueling Peaks Stable.

You can also try Hickaly Woods, which is south-east from Dueling Peaks Stable. Search along the south-west side of the woods (near the river), as well as the cliff further south, where the river source is.

Still need more shrooms? Then pay a visit to Batrea Lake, south-east from Riverside Stable, where many types of mushrooms grow.
