[edit] Indoor vs subterrenean

Do i have to have my farm underground or just inside to plant plump helmets? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diabl0658 (talk•contribs) 06:41, 3 December 2007

Underground. unless you embarked on all of your map being eg mountain, there should be a soil layer you can dig into and plant in. --Frostedfire 06:56, 9 February 2008 (EST)

From Category:Indoor crops - as long as there is a ceiling you can grow any indoor crop including Plump helmet. So it doesn't have to be underground, however usually that is the easiest way to make sure there is a floor above the area you are trying to grow crops on. They are no different to "normal" mushrooms which commercially are often grown in warehouses (they don't like much sunlight and like very controlled humidity).

[edit] Shrubs

My tower-cap farm has hundreds of shrubs, and while I've gathered plenty of pig tails, cave wheat, sweet pods, quarry bushes, and dimple cups (tons of dimple cups), I have yet to harvest a single stack of plump helmets. Are they exempt? --Quietust 00:42, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
