How to kill Mooshroom

Like a cow - but shearing it first gives 5 red mushrooms and turns it into a normal cow.

Behavior

Shearing drops 5 mushrooms and turns it into a cow; they do not grow back. Lightning within 4 blocks swaps red and brown. Bucket gives milk, bowl gives mushroom stew; a brown mooshroom fed a small flower gives suspicious stew on its next bowl milking. Source: minecraft.wiki Mooshroom.

Taming and breeding

Breed with wheat (not with cows). Two red mooshrooms have a 1/1024 chance of a brown baby; red x brown gives a 50% chance of either.
