Mushrooms can be grown in hydroponics without light to yield 3 Mushrooms and 1 Mushroom Seed when fully grown.  They must be replanted after being harvested, using either a Mushroom Seed or a raw Mushroom. Unlike other plants, mushrooms will be damaged when exposed to sunlight or [Grow Lights](/wiki/grow-light).  Mushrooms are not damaged by exposure to suit lights, [Portable Lights](/wiki/portable-light), or normal [|Wall Lights](/wiki/wall-light), only sunlight and Grow Lights.

As they are fungi, mushrooms consume O2 and produce CO2, the opposite of how other food crops work (a change, according to the implementation notes, intended to align with how fungi function in the real world).  When farmed with an equal number of other food crop in an atmosphere containing both O2 and CO2, a net balance of gases can be achieved (O2 and CO2 will both be produced and consumed at the same rate).  Note that mushrooms *cannot* be exposed to sunlight/Grow Lights, while other plants *require* sunlight/Grow Lights, so care must be taken if farming mushrooms with other plants in the same area.
