Introduction
One of the many illegal runs that you can do on the island of Altis is running mushrooms. Mushrooms are one of the most accessible illegal items to run when you are first becoming financially stable enough to afford armaments to protect yourself and large enough vehicles to increase your profits.
Starting the Run
Before starting this run, it is strongly recommended to check the price of processed mushrooms for optimal profits and to follow the list below to make sure you have all the required equipment.
- Food & Water
- Bergen Backpack for space
- A vehicle to store the manure/mushrooms
- Mushroom processing license ($29,000 at the processor)
- Head to the Cow Manure Field south of Sofia to fill your vehicle and optionally your backpack using left windows key in the cow manure field area.
Processing Mushrooms
- Head northwest of the cow manure field to the magic mushroom processor to turn your goods into processed mushrooms.
- To process, scroll wheel on the NPC inside of the house, you can either process from the vehicle or from your backpack and must remain within 25m of the NPC.
- Before pressing Process, it will give you the time required to process. Canceling processing will process items up to the progress you obtained.
Processing Magic Mushrooms
- After turning your cow manure into processed mushrooms, you will get the option to “Double Process” to turn it into magic mushrooms.
- Turning processed mushrooms into magic mushrooms increases your profits once sold (x1.25 current price).
Selling
- After finishing processing take your vehicle to any Drug Dealer. The closest to the magic mushroom processor is to the east of Sofia.
- Scroll wheel on the drug dealer to sell your mushrooms on your person, you will need to manually remove the drugs from the vehicle to sell.
- When finished selling go to any ATM the closest being in DP 17 to store the money via scroll wheel or left windows key on the ATM.

Using a tier 4 box truck, the run took 20 minutes. If you are to double process, the run will take around 25-30 minutes.
