I don't breed for mushroom myself so there will be other people that can give you better info on this, but mushroom only shows on horses with red pigment (meaning they have to be ee, no E? as E stands for black pigment is dominant over e (red pigment). It only shows when a horse is homozygous for mushroom.

I know it makes for extra nice liver horses!

I've pulled up a homo mushroom search for you so you can see some examples (i selected no appaloosa as they turn out white when they're older):

You can see on the first horse that he is a deeper, intenser and darker liver.
You can see on the second horse that nothing is happening because it has Ee, meaning it has black pigment instead of red.

This is a great example of what mushroom does with a DP liver:

It gets a bit brownish and I also believe its mane are more whitish instead of flaxen yellow because of the mushroom, but I'm not 100% sure if mushroom works like that.

Hope this helps a bit! If you put it on a red based horse (ee) you're good to go. And you can look through the search to find other mushrooms that you like :)

It's worth it - it makes DP chestnuts and palominos SO stunning.

Here's my liver mushroom herd (with some het horses mixed in).

Definitely worth it! Highly recommend it on a Liver Chestnut or Liver Red Dun or Chocolate Palomino. Here are my foundies with mushroom.
