Mooshrooms are unique forms of cows that spawn in the Mushroom biome.
For more details about the overall changes to animals and how to farm them, see Animal Tweaks.

Appearance
Mooshrooms use the same model as the cow, but have red skin (with the white patches also used by the cows), big black eyes, and are covered with red mushroom growths. The mooshroom calf does not have any mushrooms on its back.
Uses
Mooshrooms can be sheared for 5 red mushrooms, which turns them into cows. If killed, they drop leather and raw beef, exactly like cows. Mooshrooms can be "milked" with an empty bowl to obtain a bowl of mushroom stew. Once milked, it will take up to a couple days, depending on the Mooshroom's access to mycelium to feed on, to be able to produce again. Mooshrooms can only be "milked" when their udders are full and swollen, or they will attack the player like a cow would.
Mooshrooms are uniquely valuable because they give infinitely renewable food with just one animal and one bowl -- the only case in Minecraft where you can get food indefinitely without growing crops, breeding animals. This is a big advantage in survival mode. However, they only spawn in mushroom biomes, or requires trading with Villagers in order to get Mycelium, since a cow will turn into a 'Mooshroom if standing on it.
Behavior
Mooshrooms roam the Overworld Mushroom biome, typically in herds of 4. In general, Mooshroom behavior exactly matches that of cows.
Breeding
Breeding a pair of Mooshrooms with Cake will produce another Mooshroom. If you shear the baby Mooshroom's parents, the babies will stop following their parents.
Baby Mooshrooms will walk faster and are followed by their parents. They will not drop anything when killed, but still can be milked and sheared. Shearing will turn the baby Mooshrooms into Calves.
