Bittercap Mushroom location in RuneScape Dragonwilds

Bittercap Mushrooms are native to Whispering Swamp, a region directly north of Bramblemead Valley. As you advance through the main storyline, you’ll venture into this area and find small mushrooms along the ground.

Bittercap Mushrooms are tiny orange-red fungi you’ll find on the ground, particularly around water. They’re tough to spot initially, so lay down a few torches throughout the region to make them easier to find. Traveling here during the day will make it easier to catch them, but the fog will still obscure your vision.

Aside from this vision obstacle, Bittercap Mushrooms are easy to find once you know what you want. Along the way, you’ll often spot resources like clay and Marrentil, which are also useful for building and brewing and worth stockpiling for later.

How to use Bittercap Mushroom in RuneScape Dragonwilds

RuneScape Dragonwilds lets you use Bittercap Mushroom in cooking and brewing. On your campfire, you can use these alongside a piece of fuel to make Grilled Mushrooms, giving you temporary poison resistance and restoring hunger. With dragons flying around and spewing poison everywhere, having some of these on hand can save you in a pinch.

Alternatively, you can build a brewing cauldron using coarse thread, clay, logs, and Rune Essence. Here, you can make potions using Charcoal as fuel and ingredients you find within Whispering Swamp and beyond. One of the first options you’ll discover as you explore later regions is Antipoison Potions made using Harralander, Bittercap Mushrooms, and Clay Vessel. You can also experiment with RuneScape Dragonwilds’ Cauldron Brewing recipes to find more powerful mixtures that will help you later.
