Palworld Mushrooms: Mysterious, Cavern, and Common Farms and Recipes
Quick answer
Hunt Pals for them: Shroomer Noct first, then Mycora and Dualith Noct. They are not a Ranch drop (Shroomer on a Ranch only yields ordinary and Cavern Mushrooms), not a crop, and not a map node. Only Mysterious Mushrooms make Mysterious Mushroom Juice.
Everyone in 1.0 wants Mysterious Mushrooms. There are three mushroom items, and only one makes Mysterious Mushroom Juice.
Palworld has three mushrooms players actually craft with. Ordinary Mushroom is food and early cooking. Cavern Mushroom fuels potions and Mushroom Cake. Mysterious Mushroom is the scarce one behind Mysterious Mushroom Juice, Shroomer Noct Saddle, and Growth Acceleration Bell.

Mysterious Mushroom

Mushroom
Ingredients
A mushroom that can be eaten raw. They can be found anywhere on the island.
Mysterious Mushroom
Not for eating raw. Item text warns it makes you hungrier. No expedition, dungeon chest, or Oil Rig gives it, it is not a crop, and Shroomer on a Ranch never makes it. You farm Pals.
