I mentioned to a friend that I feel like Tasty Mawshroom (occasional drop from all daily Invasive Mawshroom treasures in Korthia) must be used for something, and he suggested that maybe it could be used to interact with Darkmaul.

When you use the mawshroom on the NPC (at /way #1961 42.8, 32.7) you get a 2-minute buff, Friendly Ride. The description says: "Riding Darkmaul. Overtime you might become friends."

I think I took 5 total rides on Darkmaul (this appears to have been changed to 10 rides on live), including one where I got attacked and died before the 2-minute buff expired. On my last ride, as soon as the NPC hopped up and I jumped on its back, Darkmaul popped into my inventory.

You can loot a total of 5 Invasive Mawshrooms daily, but each one now has multiple possible spawnpoints. I will add them as I locate them. They are linked below to their specific objectIDs, which currently prevents Wowhead's automatic copying from working fully, so if you are using an addon like CopyPasta you will need to manually select all the lines.

You do NOT need to stock up on mawshrooms and use them all at once. I spaced my rides out over the course of a week or two.

Darkmaul is obtained by feeding a friendly npc in Korthia called Darkmaul 10x Tasty Mawshroom

The Mawshrooms are obtained from treasure nodes called Invasive Mawshroom in Korthia. They have about a 10-20% dropchance.
The "treasures" can be picked up once per spawn point per day, some spawnpoints are shared tho, and you can pick up a total of 5 Invasive Mawshrooms a day. So if you're lucky, you can obtain this mount in 2 days.
If the Invasive Mawshrooms has been picked up by someone else, they currently have about a 10-15minute respawn timer, but can be picked up within 5 seconds of the first player looting the shroom.
The Tasty Mawshroom are not unique, so you can gather all 10 before "turning them in" to Darkmaul, but you can turn them in as you please. When you feed Darkmaul he will let you ride him. This'll give you a 2 minute buff stating that: "You might become friends overtime". This turns out to be rather important. If you feed Darkmaul and instantly jumps off, instead of riding for the 2 minute buff duration, it will not count towards your progress for getting the mount.

Isn't "Darkmaul" already the name of a clan of ogres? Seems kinda odd to name something else the same thing that isn't in any way related to that tribe.

Comment by owosu

Fed him 6 Tasty Mawshrooms, rode the mount for the whole duration of the buff each time and didn't receive the mount.
Probably have to do it 6 different days.

Amount increased from 6 to 10 as many have already said, got the mount after feeding him 10 Tasty Mawshrooms. You can feed them in a row, no need to do 1 per day or anything like that.

Comment by Dathwada

They have increased the amount from 6 to 10 Tasty Mawshrooms (Hidden Quest hidden tracking quest to track your progress for the mawshrooms you've turned in) to get the Darkmaul mount.

Comment by rottenx51

You can check how many Tasty Mawshrooms you handed in so far by using the following script:
/run local count = select(4, GetQuestObjectiveInfo(64376, 0, false)) print(""..count.."")
Note that you get a credit for the hidden quest the moment your character jumps onto Darkmaul, so you probably don't have to wait for the 2 minute buff to expire.

Comment by Kracker5000

In case anyone was wondering, you CAN feed him multiple times on the same day and receive +1 to the 10 times you need to feed him each time. There is no daily cooldown.

Comment by mm0p

You can just spam click all 10 mushrooms if you have them in your inventory and get credit for the quest. There is no need to actually ride him for 2minutes, you can simply remove the buff and still get credit.

Comment by Pihalecsmrti

Highest rated comments be like 'Yeah, you can feed him all 10 in 1 go, no need to wait daily etc...' While I'm here opening the Invasive Mawshrooms every single day, and I only got 3 mushrooms since the patch came out... Great design really.

Comment by Atiaens

Don't do this while you are in a raid .... I just wasted one mushroom -,-

Comment by pommeamer

anyone having issue with the tasty mushroom drop? i feel like never got my 7th, been farming 5Xinvasive mushroom everyday for 5 days with 0 drop on tasty mushrooms :(

Comment by ferseba18

This is, without a doubt, one of the WORST designed mount rare ever. Imagine if you were trying for the polar bear in northrend storm peaks dailies but you need to loot him 10 times to learn the mount. Its completely and absolutely atrocious in every possible way. i got past the 3 digits in the amount of looted mawshroom treasures and only got a mushroom ONCE. What the actual hell?

Edit: Btw, I'm still opening 4-5 mawshrooms each day and so far only looted 4/10. It's not that i don't want to put effort, it's that i'd rather not be stuck in this patch for potentially a year till i get the mount. It's not a meta mount or rotation to justify spending so much time here. It's just insufferable RNG and not fun(not to mention, the limited attemp system, which you can't bypass with alts unlike other rare mounts).

Comment by devid951

Hello all,
I wanted to give some new info about the obtaining of this mount. At the beginning I had 3 Tasty Mawshroom and used them on the NPC, but did NOT wait the full 2 min buff. Then I read the comments here and was disappointed that I had made the mistake of not waited for the full 2 min buff duration. The interesting part is that the next 7 Tasty Mawshroom I have ride the NPC for the full duration and yes the 1st 3 Tasty Mawshroom counted for the progression. Something else the last day of my farming I looted 3 Tasty Mawshroom and used them, so I think that the limit is not 2 per day. Good luck with the farming I hope this comment would be helpful!

Comment by Akitnaya

So you definitely have to ride him a full 2mins to get credit. I had 10 mawshrooms & I turned them into him, dismounted & did it 10x & didn't get credit. Next day, I got a mawshroom & turned it in + rode Darkmaul a full 2mins & got credit. Don't do what I did. =[

Edit: Drop rate seems to have gone up since the patch went live. I get usually 1-3 daily......IF i'm lucky.

Edit #2: I believe they fixed it & the problem I had didn't happen again.

Comment by Torm

Week ago I decided to farm this mount. At that time I was 1/10 Tasty Mawshroom in.
8 days later I'm 9/10. Based on my observation, if you collect all 5 Invasive Mawshrooms in a single day (only 5 spawn each day so you cannot collect more) you get at least 1 Tasty Mawshroom guaranteed. If I do my Korthia dailies tomorrow, I should get the mount by then. I will update this post then.

//EDIT: Ok, I was lied to. Day later and I'm still 9/10 after looting all 5 Invasive Mawshrooms. RIP.

Comment by Djuntas

Got all 10 today. Just turned them in with no break between exit vehicle more or less. Did not even click buff away.

Anyway takes a long time, but just try loot 5 shrooms when you out in the zone. Hope to get a few now and then.

Comment by flgiirl415

Last night I fed him roughly 4-5 Tastys and road the full duration 2 minutes each time. I ran the script this morning and it's showing 0, not sure why? Do I have to run the script while riding him? Thanks everyone.

Comment by Lorgh

Feed him a Tasty Mawshroom 10 times. You can dismount before the 2 minute buff has expired and still get credit. And you can feed him as many times in a single day as you have Tasty Mawshrooms.

You can run the following script to make sure you are getting credit: /run local count = select(4, GetQuestObjectiveInfo(64376, 0, false)) print(""..count.."")

Comment by Moltenmage

To obtain this mount you need to feed Darkmaul NPC in Korthia with 10 Tasty Mawshrooms, to find these mawshrooms you need to loot the Invasive Mawshrooms. The Invasive mawshrooms can be found throughout Korthia. Only 5 Invasion Mushrooms spawn each day. They have a very low drop chance to drop the Tasty Mawshrooms. Once you gather all the Tasty Mawshrooms, you need to go to the Darkmaul NPC and feed him the mushrooms, when you feed him a mawshroom he will let you ride him for 2 minutes. Now it’s been reported by multiple people that you do not have to ride him for the full 2 minutes to get credit for feeding a tasty mawshroom to him. Now to check if you get credit run the script that is on the screen and it will tell you how many times you got credited for turning in a tasty mushroom to Darkmaul. After you turn in 10 Tasty Mawshrroms to the Darkmaul NPC, he should pop into your inventory as the Darkmaul mount.

Comment by Volleynova

Best feeling is when you get this done and now you can destroy/sell the mushrooms in your inventory without feeling like you may be missing out on something, lol.

Comment by Eliyana

I havent been getting any tasty mushrooms for the past month, with only 2 left for the mount :/
anyone else?

Comment by Gadoink4

If you didn't get the mount before 9.2, progress seems to have been reset back to 0.

Comment by Exisa

I got my mount today after turning in 9 in pre patch and 1 in the new patch, so for me my progress did not revert back to 0 like the last post, maybe on tues but worked for me today

Comment by Gameroze

I made a ticket to a GM explaining that for many of us still needing this mount, the progress has been reset since the patch. The GM basically said his powers are limited and suggested I submit it as a bug report. Then he asked me to reload my UI and see if that was the problem, but it's not as I already tried that and I used the script to see how many I handed in. Prior to the patch my progress was 8/10 and since starting from scratch once more, it's down to 3/10 so it looks like we've got to farm the shrooms all over again until they find a fix. It's disappointing but I wouldn't hold my breath as it won't be anytime soon, given the length of time it takes them to fix issues like this which aren't deemed game-breaking. I'd suggest everyone submit it as a bug or open your own tickets to be escalated in the hopes it encourages them to fix it quickly. I'm sorry everyone, believe me I feel your pain with having to farm these mushrooms again with their god awful drop rate.

Comment by Xemnuz

Got like 2-3 a week the first times I was in Korthia (like 1-2 months ago), now I havent gotten a shroom in 2 weeks though looting all of the invasive mushrooms, thought I might be done with Darkmaul but Im only 6/10, odd. RNG gon RNG I guess

Comment by Hefalumpy

I had a request for more information on getting this guy because some people feel like the drop rate of Tasty Mawshrooms had been lowered. I decided to try to get the mount on my second account, and there are some changes to the process. Not major ones, but I DID feel like the Tasty Mawshrooms were an abysmal drop rate when it takes weeks to see one. You still need 10, but when you turn them in, you don't go running off immediately. You just stay in place and can choose to run or jump off. You still don't need to ride him for the full 2 minutes (the buff wasn't even visible on me until I jumped off). When you jump off, he runs around all crazy and if you click off the buff instead of letting it fall off, you can see him sleeping and running at the same time! It's a little silly.

Although I cannot see Darkmaul sleeping in his spot after I got the mount with my main character, I could see him in his spot with my alts that had not finished the process. I had some Tasty Mawshrooms on one alt, so I tried to feed him and it worked! Lol. I don't have enough to try to get a 2nd mount, though, and they don't drop for me anymore now that I have the mount in my collection. I put my video of the process in the videos section if anyone wants to see the entire process. It's designed for people that don't know the area, but it has all of the Invasive Mawshroom locations in case anyone needs that!

Comment by matt4077

Glad this is over. Took me 7 months of, admittedly, semi regular grinding of Invasive Mushrooms. I don't mind a low drop rate via RNG to get a mount or weapon but improbable RNG drop rates are not fun.

Comment by neiljwd

Just posting that he's still available in DF, as of patch 10.0.5
Tasty Mawshroom drop still during DF, got all 10 within 2 months, probably hitting Korthia 57ish days, looting 3-5 mushrooms each time.

I saved all 10 to give in one sitting - NOT recommended. Give as u find, as you HAVE to wait 2 minutes between feeding each shroom.
The 2-minute wait can be circumvented by logging out, immediately after feeding Darkmaul - he's 'fresh' once you log back in, but that's still an awkward minimum of 30 seconds between feedings.

You can no longer "right click the buff away", but, you can dismount the Darkmaul "vehicle", and it still counts. However, Darkmaul "looses interests" you and isn't available for 2 minutes anyway.
If you just sit on him there's no buff timer, but I can confirm you auto jump off after 2 minutes.

Macro to count how many shrooms given still works:
/run local count = select(4, GetQuestObjectiveInfo(64376, 0, false)) print(""..count.."")

Comment by sogekiheii

Can confirm that in patch 10.0.5 you can still right click the riding buff to remove it, then dismount, and feed the Tasty Mawshrooms consecutively in quick succession. Checked with progress macro after each Mawshroom fed, and I was given the mount after 10 fed to him.

Comment by Gesika6

I turned in at least 6 of these before I took a 6 month break from wow, and when I came back I was at 0... wth blizz.

Comment by Dreadalous

I have seen some comments saying you don't have to ride him for the full 2 minutes but I timed mine and I saw no buff so I rode him for 2mins as I didn't want to take a risk incase someone was trolling. On the 10th hand in I immediately got the mount.

Comment by Arkaeic

I saw a lot of comment's wondering whether the drop rate had lowered, and although I have no frame of comparison as I was not playing during the Korthia patch, I did track all 10 mushrooms for anyone who's interested.

I started searching all 5 Invasive Mawshroom available per day on 9/June/2023.
Here are the dates I got them.

11th June 2023
18th June 2023
18th June 2023
20th June 2023
21st June 2023
28th June 2023
2nd July 2023
2nd July 2023
4th July 2023
7th July 2023

Observations:
- On 2 occasions, I was able to get 2 in one day, proving that you aren't limited to 1 loot per day.
- The longest I went without seeing one is 7 days (this happened twice)

Time's I skipped:
19th June 2023: Could only find 4/5
25th June 2023: Didn't search any - servers were down.
29th and 30th June 2023: Took a 2 day break from WoW
2nd July 2023: Could only find 4/5
7th July 2023: Last mushroom found on 2nd loot of the day.

This means that I got my 10 Tasty Mawshroom after 125 attempts over a total of 29 days. (26 days if you subtract the days I didn't search)

Comment by Streu

I just handed in my 10 shrooms today. It took 2 minutes for all of them and I did it like this:
1. Farmed 10 shrooms over the past weeks (other people described how to obtain them)
2. Go to Darkmaul
3. Right click the shroom
4. You will auto mount him, just use the "leave vehicle" button
5. Darkmaul runs around for 5 seconds and resets
6. Start again with 3.

After 10 shrooms you are the new owner of a recoloured mount

Comment by greencatspryte

12 Sep Nagrand, finally got the 10th Mawshroom, had been sitting on around 7 from all the questing in the Korthia campaign, took about month to find the last 3. Spam clicked them on Darkmaul and got the mount. Didn't need to pace giving him the shrooms or dismount at any point, mount went straight to my bag.

Comment by MisterPepsi

Looted these over the course of 3-4 weeks, going every morning on wm on to get more shrooms in the area. I then spammed the shrooms all at once near the mob and automatically got it in my bag.

Comment by mermel

Either I'm doing something wrong or the drop rate of the Tasty Mawshroom is incredibly low. 22 straight days and only got 3.
