🍄 (Mushroom) Emoji Meanings

PDF download Download Article
  1. Whether you encountered a cool cluster of mushrooms on your hike or attempted to make stuffed mushrooms for the very first time, the 🍄 emoji is the perfect choice when you post about it. [1]
    • “Encountered this peculiar mushroom in the woods today. I was oddly tempted to eat it 🍄”
    • “I’ve never tried 🍄 before. Do they actually taste good?”
    • “I think I’m going to go forage for mushrooms today 🍄🍄🍄”
  2. The 🍄 emoji is a depiction of a fly agaric, which are poisonous and inedible (without parboiling), after all. If someone is warning that something’s toxic or not safe to eat, they might throw in a 🍄 emoji for good measure.
    • “You definitely DO NOT want to eat those berries—they’re super poisonous! 🍄💀”
    • “Never eat wild mushrooms you haven’t confidently identified. Some can be highly toxic 🍄”
    • “Just discovered the beautiful flowers I’ve been tending to all spring are extremely poisonous, great 🍄🤦”

  3. If you want to convey just how magical the trickling creek you saw in the woods was or how incredible the campsite you and your friends hiked to ended up being, the 🍄 emoji is a great option.
    • “Went on the most peaceful hike through the woods this morning 🌲🍄🦌”
    • “Excited to spend my entire weekend immersed in nature 🐻🍄🌲🏞”
    • “So I’m usually not a nature person, but I actually had so much fun camping in the forest all weekend 🌲🌲🌲🍄🍄🍄”
  4. Who doesn’t remember chasing after mushrooms to power up in the video game Super Mario Bros ? If someone posts about the game (or any character from the Mario universe, for that matter) and uses the 🍄 emoji, that’s why.
    • “All I want right now is to eat candy and play Super Mario Bros 🍄”
    • “Having a mini crisis right now. Can’t decide whether Peach or Daisy is my favorite video game princess 🍄 #sorryzelda”
    • “Did anyone else used to stay up all night at sleepovers playing Mario Kart? 🍄🚗”

  1. If someone on social media is talking about the “amazing trip” they had or posting about some kind of mind-altering experience and pairing it with the 🍄 emoji, it could be a drug reference. Specifically, a reference to psychedelic mushrooms that cause hallucinations when you eat them. [2]
