1- water for wheat farms does NOT have to be exposed on the surface. you can completely cover a pool of water with dirt blocks plant your wheat. this gives you a lot more options for aesthetics.
2- you can place lily pads on the water in your sugar cane farm and the cane will not drop in the water when harvested (sits on the lily pad) and you can walk through the farm without falling in water.
Bonus: u already know this but sugar cane grows faster in sand than dirt
now my question: What is the best material to grow a mushroon farm in? im using a dark room with mushrooms in a 2x2 square. so is it better in bare dirt, grass, mycelium, or something else. i have already watched several utube videos and didn't get the answer.
I don't know if it's a glitch or what, but every time I put the water underneath the wheat and start tilling the land, it almost immediately goes back to untilled dirt. I've stopped putting it underneath because of that...
To answer your question: I believe mycelium is better for spreading mushrooms.

i have noticed that it seems to return to untilled earth faster. if i till 10 blocks and start planting at least one has turned back but that is a slight inconvienience compared to the option to really change up my farms using underground water.
unsure about the sugar growing on sand bit... as my dirt ones grow just as fast as my sand ones...O_o They grow pretty fast either way.
Mushrooms just need darkness to grow best, but keep in mind the single rule that you can look up on wiki about the range of mushroom growth as that is now accurate for xbox now. there technically is no 1 block best for mushrooms, it grows the same on anything it can grow on...

My First World, always getting back to is a pleasure I enjoy with each new update that brings in more things to add in.
He means the water still has to be on the same Y axis and within 4 blocks, but you can put another block on the water, so long as the water remains there.
I built my last homestead in a swamp biome and discovered (for me at least) that you can plant a mushroom by the trunk of a tree and it will spread to at least 4 or 5 mushrooms during the day or night. Its nice to not have to have a dark room or go silk touch mycellium.
no no no somethinghing is wrong. my myc... mushrooms dirt farm has not produced any ( not a single)) mushroom. there is no light ( exceppt down a long turning hallway) . i have messed up ssomewhere but dont know where,

Farmland doesn't get watered from below...
and on the Mushrooms I use Soul Sand it seems to grow faster on that then anything else.. I even have had it in a completely lit up
area, and used the mushrooms as decoration (since I assume they wouldn't grow) came back and from the soul sand more grew, and even grew onto the stone itself...
so Soul Sand
On the lily pads, My 6yr told me about this a couple days ago, and I was like woah!. Genius!! Don't know why I never thought about it.

I love this. My 7yr old comes up with some great and unique designs that I would never have thought of. What a great family game.
