IS there any particular spot(s) that mushrooms appear somewhere more offten than other places. Like is there one (or more) spots where every few mins youlll find a mushroom?

From my experience, they appear everywhere.

Oh, darn it, I have another problem too. ITs been 2 days since i played, and it was on pause, and my cheif wont grant food. It says way till 24 hours is up. its been around 36 hours

That's unusual! The chief grants food every 24 hours, regardless of the game being paused or not. Are you 100% sure about your timing? Perhaps others in the forum will weigh in on this issue!

Mushrooms will show up anywhere!! I've even seen them out on the reef.

Look for them after the rain,there in abundance then, just like in real life!

Did you play with the clock on your computer at all?
