Cozy Idle
Mushroom Market Idle
Turn a tiny basket stand into a lantern-lit woodland market full of mushrooms and friendly guests.
What you do
Mushroom Market Idle is a woodland shop game about tending little patches, filling baskets, and waiting for forest guests to wander up the glow trail. Harvest into stocked baskets, sell to visiting customers, and spend the acorns on faster growth and rarer mushrooms.
- Four growing patches with clear harvest meters and individual basket stock.
- Forest guests who shop quietly while you tend the stall.
- Market comforts like rich soil, bigger baskets, a cheerful bell, and a glow trail.
- Reputation that opens the way to stranger, prettier mushrooms.
- Local save and gentle offline catch-up when you return.

Questions
Do mushrooms spoil?
No. Mushrooms wait patiently in their baskets, so you can play casually.
Does Mushroom Market Idle work offline?
Yes. Your local save catches up for up to four hours: patches grow and customers buy mushrooms already in your baskets. Harvest manually when you return.
