There is no trick to finding a Golden Mushroom, it just has a spawn rate of 0.0001%, or 1/10000. In other words, for every 9,999 mushrooms spawned in Fortnite, only one will be the coveted Golden Mushroom. Golden Mushrooms spawn anywhere mushrooms normally spawn. So, if you comb the game map during a match searching for a Golden Mushroom and don’t find one, you probably won’t find one that round. If you are still adamant on discovering the mushroom, you should finish your game, start another one, and hope the odds are in your favor.

However, if you want to find a mushroom and don’t care about using it, you can always cheat the system and spawn mushrooms in Creative Mode. Start by setting down a consumables gallery, and then delete everything except the mushroom. Next, copy and paste the mushroom until one inevitably sports a golden hue. Voilà, you have a Golden Mushroom. Moreover, if you want more than one, you can copy the Golden Mushroom and spawn a near infinite number.

If patience isn’t one of your virtues, however, you can always visit a player-made world that already features Golden Mushrooms.
