Phillip Susi Posted May 13 Report Posted May 13 I don't understand... I keep breaking wild berry bushes that say they are mature, but all I get are plant matter, no berries. All I have managed to eat so far are some wild mushrooms.

Huh, just checked and realized don't have the little pop up hints like a lot of other plants do. To get berries, right click to pick them off the bush. If you left click you'll break the bush like a regular block, destroying it and leaving only plant matter. I think you have to use a knife to take a cutting that you can use to propagate the bush.

Tagging on to what @Diff already said, you need to make sure that the bush actually has fruit on it before holding right-click to harvest. A bush that is marked as mature is a bush that is old enough to produce fruit if the conditions are right; that is, it can't be in the barren health state, and must go through the flowering and ripening process first in order to produce fruit. It's also worth noting that ripe fruit won't remain on the bush indefinitely, so you'll want to make sure you don't wait too long to harvest. And of course, the healthier the bush, the more fruit it will produce. Wild bushes are supposed to spawn in the struggling or healthy state, though they seem to sometimes spawn in the barren state for some reason. Wild bushes also produce slightly less than cultivated bushes on average, and cultivated bushes are also the only ones that can actually achieve the bountiful state, if I'm not mistaken. 1
