YouTube tutorials also never show the item. What they leave is a trail of steps. You’re never sure whether it’s yet another dead-end or a hopeful attempt. If you’re someone who fits this description, we’re finally pulling the curtains off the entire mystery surrounding Matsutake in this guide. So, buckle up, sit tight, and continue reading. 

Where to Find Matsutake in Heartopia?

Matsutakes are a type of mushroom in Heartopia. When you’ve played the game long enough, the mushrooms become integral to your in-game progress since they’re a major part of recipes. While other mushrooms aren’t much of a hassle, Matsutakes will have you pulling your hair in search of them, no matter your level. 

Numerous threads claim the presence of Matsutake depends on: 

• The weather.
• The time of day.
• A player’s progression, or
• a particular spot on Spirit Oak.

All of this is untrue, at least for the global servers. 

In reality, Matsutake is exclusively part of a special event (Lóngshàng) on the Chinese Servers. The developers haven’t rolled them out on the global servers yet, so the chances of spotting them are very slim.

If you have access to the CN servers, though, Matsutakes are unlike other mushrooms. They don’t have a variant and are found in the north-east region of the Spirit Oak Pine Forest, typically in groups.
