===Growing fourth generation mushrooms===
Used as a sandboxNothing here now.  Move along.
The [[gloomy black mushroom]] can also be produced in the mushroom plot, although the process for doing so is complicated by the involvement of [[moons|moon phases]] in the breeding.  The [[oily golden mushroom]] is obtained by exchanging a [[gloomy black mushroom]] outside the plot, so the essential strategy in this section is the production of the [[gloomy black mushroom|gloomy black mushrooms]] in a timely and efficient manner.
 
The first consideration is when planting should begin.  The adult [[frozen mushroom|frozen mushroom(s)]] and [[spooky mushroom|spooky mushroom(s)]] must be in place on the first [[moons|moxie day]].  The breeding of the [[gloomy black mushroom]] spore will only occur at rollover on that day, generating the new spore when the moons both turn dark.
 
Since one of the adult mushrooms involved in the breeding is a third-generation mushroom, which takes six days to reach maturity, planting must begin no later than the day ''immediately after the [[moons|second muscle day]]'' (the first day when Grimace is waning gibbous).  The maximum number of [[gloomy black mushroom|gloomy black mushrooms]] which can be produced by starting on this day is '''six'''.  If planting begins two days earlier (on the [[moons|first muscle day]]), a maximum of '''eight''' mushrooms can be produced.
 
This is the basic "quick" set-up for producing 6 [[gloomy black mushroom|gloomy black mushrooms]] in the shortest time possible:

It is possible to produce up to eight [[gloomy black mushroom|gloomy black mushrooms]] per 16-day moon cycle.  However, this requires a more complex strategy, and a minimum of two additional days' lead time.
