You are currently inside a long-calcified root system. Evidence suggests it was eaten away by other lifeforms over many centuries to form these natural caves.

The Mushroom Forest Caves are a small cave system characterized by life forms and coral structures typical of the Mushroom Forest, and two of them are home to Cuddlefish eggs.
Here, bioluminescent plants, such as Grue Clusters, guide the player through the caves' many passages.
There are currently three Mushroom Forest Caves known to exist:
- The first cave can be found inside the stem of the Giant Tree Mushroom within the Northwestern Mushroom Forest, towards the Northwest of the map, with one entrance at the top and one at the bottom.
- A second smaller cave can be found at the bottom of the Giant Tree Mushroom, containing a Cuddlefish egg.
- The third cave is situated in the Northeastern Mushroom Forest and is connected to one of the Bulb Zone Caves. The entrance to this cave can be found in the Bulb Zone or under the largest Tree Mushroom in the area. This cave is particularly large and is made up of long, winding tunnels that lead to and from a large central cave found inside. The Cuddlefish egg can be found in a chamber close to the entrance of the cave.
Exclusive to the caves in the Northwestern Mushroom Forest are Jellyray and Boneshark eggs, alongside Spadefish swimming inside the tree.
The third cave, however, contains Coral Shell Plates, Large Lithium Deposits and a single Brain Coral, located close to the transition to the Bulb Zone Caves. Holefish and Shuttlebugs inhabit this cave system, but no eggs aside from the Cuddlefish egg can be found.
