Penny buns are a common foraging ingredient in the survival game Enshrouded, essential for crafting health potions and other food recipes. These small, brown mushrooms can be found primarily in the Springlands, the game's starting region. They grow in the light forest areas, distinct from the larger, more hazardous shroud mushrooms found in darker, corrupted zones.
While penny buns spawn across various green hills within the Springlands, a particularly efficient farming spot is the Harvest Homestead, located west of the Ancient Spire. Players can gather nearly 20 penny buns in this area alone during a single scavenging run.
Due to their small size and color, penny buns can be difficult to spot amidst the game's natural foliage. To improve visibility, players can adjust the display settings. Navigating to Settings, then the 'Display' tab, and disabling the 'small foliage' option will remove most shrubbery from view. While this may reduce the visual fidelity of the world, it significantly simplifies the process of spotting penny buns from a distance, making harvesting much more efficient.
The Harvest Homestead offers a concentrated source of these valuable mushrooms, and optimizing the game's display settings can further streamline the collection process, ensuring a steady supply for crafting essential survival items.
