Unique gear items in Elden Ring that provide buffs to a build are extremely important. One such example is the Mushroom Crown, a go-to helm for any poison-based build.
However, finding the Mushroom Crown in Elden Ring is not an easy task. You must travel to the depths of the Lands Between and survive a massive lake of rot to obtain this helm. Let us help guide you through the whole process.
Mushroom Crown Location in Elden Ring

Once you reach the Lake of Rot, go straight from the shoreside site of grace until you reach the next platform.
Keep going until you reach the other end with some Basilisk enemies. Climb the fallen pillar to the right to reach the top of the pillars.
Reach the square structure in the middle and carefully look down to find a body on a short pillar. Jump down on the short pillar and interact with the body to collect the Mushroom Crown in Elden Ring.
