The Black Mushroom is an item used to craft the Staff of Herding, which can be used to gain access to Whimsyshire and is required to complete the Altar of Rites. It has a chance to be found in the Cathedral Level 1 in any game mode or difficulty.

The mushroom is rare and players may need to create new game sessions multiple times before finding it. Each time will generate a new map with the possibility of containing the mushroom, but of course with a fresh batch of enemies to wade through.

The item is looted from a patch of lightly glowing violet mushrooms. When clicked, this container makes a sound like an opening chest, and a male voice may be heard uttering "whoa". After picking it up, The Nephalem comments on the impressive size of the mushrooms, a homage to the Black Mushroom quest in the original Diablo.
