    If you can find Matilda's Mushroom Stew stall in your market place you can check there.  She's probably hiding behind a bouncing purple !!!.

    Mushroom Hunt!  

    Yeah!!! It’s time for more Fun, Fun, Fun!!!   Matilda needs our help finding mushrooms to make a delicious mushroom stew Yum! Yum!  yum This event is in the Bazaar area and will run for 10 days.

    When you click on it you will see Matilda, and a basket of mushrooms, as you find the mushrooms on your farm and click on them, they will fill the basket.  So, you can always look there to see how many more you need to find for the day.  The mushrooms are all over your farm – OUTSIDE your main farm fence!  You might find them on a tree, bottom of a tree, looking like a rock, near a bridge, or light house, on or in the water, along the river, near the boats, horse ranch, etc. When you find one and put your cursor over it, your cursor will change to a pointing finger. Just click on the mushroom to collect it. You MUST find 10 mushrooms each of the 10 days to win the grand prize, the Overgrown Tree Stump 4 x 4 deco with 37 happiness!  smile Click on the rewards to see the 5 possible prizes for collecting the mushrooms that you can win over the 10 days!!! smiley 

    On the left side of the Mushroom event, you need to help Matilda collect the missing pages of her recipe book!  The number of pages that you will need to collect are based on your playing level!  For example at my Level 125, I need to get 11,000 pages!!  That’s one BIG recipe book! wink  The number on the right is how many you need to collect and the one on the left is how many you have collected so far.

    I suggest that you take, say 8 days to give yourself some breathing room and divide the number that you need to collect by 8 and then try to collect at least that amount each day.  You will find the pages INSIDE your farm fence, flying as you are farming!

    This event started on the US1 Server on 9-22-15 at 9pm PST.  GGS is 9 hours ahead of us, so it would be 9-23-15 6am GGS time!  The timer now reads ~ 9 days.  That means anything over 9 days, but not less than 9 days.  To see the exact number of hours, minutes, and seconds for the event, just put your cursor over the ~ 9 days.  The NEW mushrooms will come out at 9PM PST (6am GGS time) each day—at least on US1.

    We did this event last Easter for an Easter Egg Hunt and loved it, so then we had a candy hunt that was fun too and now a mushroom hunt! smiley 

    The only things that I would caution you on, is to be sure to collect your 10 mushrooms every day as early as possible and try to get all your recipe pages over 8 days or less as I mentioned above.  (It always seems to be about 6 hours short doing one or the other - sorry don’t recall which - I love hunting, so I usually find them early - when the event ended – it didn’t end at 9pm - so never got the full 10th day for collecting! Maybe that will be fixed with this hunt.) There is a way to buy some extra recipe pages with gold if you want.  In the prior events, you could get 1 free hint to find the items, after that the hint cost you gold!  I do not see that now - may not show because I finished collecting my 10 mushrooms for the day, or maybe it is not an option this time, since you can buy some recipe pages with gold.

    You can use the little white box at the top of your screen with the gears on it (bottom left) to zoom in or out to make the mushrooms easier to see.  You can ALSO use your browser to zoom the screen even larger if you need it..those mushrooms are tiny!  After awhile it will get easier as you have more practice! wink 

    Hope that helps those of you who are new to this event.  Enjoy! smile 

    this was so nicely done thank you
  • Did anyone else lose gold during this last update? 
  • Thank you all for your help. :)
  • I am on US server - this morning I have started getting pages dropped along with the UFO parts.   I notice the pages have a mushroom on them so I am thinking they are the recipe pages.  I haven't seen anything or anyone about the mushroom event on my farm.  There is no task telling me anything, no booth in the flea market area.  Not even a pages counter to show progress.  Only stuff I have seen about matilda has been in forum and that newspaper we see when signing in.    Is this a bug or am I just missing something?

    Hey @lelkilroy (US1) You will find Matilda on the second row of the events area. She is a little hidden by the !'s (We will pass this on to the developers), but she is there working hard on that mushroom stew. There are 10 mushrooms hidden in the area around your farm that you will have to find each day for the duration of the event (10), along with the recipe pages. Good luck completing the event!

    Kind regards,
    Stan

    Thanks @craftycritters.
  • When I read that this new mushroom hunt event was going to be like the Easter egg hunt I didn't think it was going to the exact same including the timer bug. I was on last night and had no mushroom event running I searched for the lady and her cart as well as mushrooms laying around. Now It is on day 8 out of 10 just like when the Easter event was running and was short changed a day. Same game same bugs. Good to know when Easter rolls around again I will be short changed again as this seems to be the pattern. 

    I really do like this game but I hate how buggy it is.

    Just one more confirmation that there are too many exclamations up there, stuff gets missed all the time. Glad you will pass this on. Hope to see less visual clutter to make new information more noticable
  • The clock on matild's mushroom stew on my farm now says 8 days and it only started at 6.00am this morning whats going on
  • Why is this game always set up so we only get 11 hours on the last day? Especially since for me at least these hours mostly tend to be around the time I'm sleeping so I have to remember to find the last day's collectible, in this case mushrooms, before I go to bed or else make sure I do it as soon as I wake up in the morning otherwise I miss out on the full 100.

    Woohoo got my 10 shrooms for today!! photo Spongebob_zpsba2a8721gif


    LOL Now we know why you run around with scissors. :p


    TIP: The mushrooms seem to be hidden just as the eggs were. If you get stuck and can't find all of the mushrooms, Larino has the hidden locations of the eggs at Larino's Corner. That should help with the mushrooms as well. :)

    Edit: Gwen just reminded me about some things in the farm environment changing since the Easter egg hunt. Some of the locations are the same but some are a bit different. I'm always scatterbrained so just look over me at times. ;)

    I had checked on this event yesterday as well, was not running:

    • the booth did not exist
    • the mushrooms were not in the environment
    • I was not getting any cookbook pages with my harvesting
    • even in the middle of the night US time.

    I log in today and ...

    • it is running, but says 8 days left
    • I hover over the clock and calculate the results, still comes to only 8.5 days left
    • But it also says this is day 1 of 10

    So these are my questions:

    1. How can it be day 1 of 10 if we only have 8.5 days left?
    2. How can we even hope to get one of the last 2 prizes if the event from the start doesn't give us enough time to get that far?
    3. Was this running on some servers and not others, or is it ruining the event for everyone equally?

    I uploaded the picture to show my proof, it is unaltered. I am in central US so I am currently 7 hours behind server time, that does not constitute missing 1.5 days of event time unless the event clock began running at the time the update was performed on the servers (usually updates are performed at 2-3am my time and would have been 1.5 days ago), but that is not when the event actually started and should not be the time we have left to perform the functions of the event.

    Mine says   Day 1 of 10.     But also says  8 Days left...

    Funny Maths that....

    I noticed this myself.  10 days would have been 240 hours, and it started with about 212 hours left.

    @farmerm53 Did you look at the log next to the notice board at the horse ranch. Sometimes there's one right there. :)
