Which is better?

Mushroom comes out ahead on base value, but the right pick depends on your goal — read both and decide.

Mushroom: The highest base-value crop in Grow a Garden 2 and the classic early-to-mid income spike. A single mushroom out-earns almost everything cheaper, which makes it the crop most new players save their first big Sheckle pile for.

Moon Bloom: A premium endgame income crop that scales to a huge 90 kg weight cap. Multi-harvest and a top mutation target — a Rainbow or event-mutated Moon Bloom is one of the biggest single sales in the game. Protect it before night falls.
