While exploring Sumeru, you might have encountered a Material-Collecting Aranara looking for a shriveled Starshroom. Rather than an actual item name, a shriveled Starshroom describes the kind of Starshroom that they’re searching for.
How to find shriveled Starshroom in Genshin Impact
You first need to look for aStarshroom, a mushroom with a star-shaped cap that can be found all over Sumeru. These transforming mushrooms are called Tri-Lakshana Creatures, which change their state after being affected by certain Elements. For instance, if you apply Electro onto a Starshroom, it becomes anActivated Starshroom. Thisonly applies to Starshrooms in Sumeru—the ones in The Chasm’s Underground Mines can’t change forms.
Use any Pyro character toapply Pyroonto the Starshroom, turning it into aScorched Starshroom. A Scorched Starshroom looks shriveled in appearance, which is what the Material-Collecting Aranara is looking for.
