I was experimenting with mahogany trees to dilute mystic trees – mushroom log needs to have 2 mystic trees in range to have 68% to select a purple mushroom, but it needs way more trees to produce 5 mushrooms.
As mahogany trees don't benefit any mushroom type it could be reasoned that it would help with having 5 purple mushrooms with only few mystic trees… but there is a "problem" as there is an initial rule that takes the tree count in log range, multiplies by 3/4 and adds multiple entries of random mushrooms (80% for common) to the list of mushrooms from which the final mushroom will be drawn – so the list will be "polluted" with common mushrooms anyway 🙁
So mahogany experiment failed 😉 will have to re-test with pine trees as it should give more purple/chanterelle than common mushrooms – mahogany tree adds common mushroom entries twice, while pine would add once for common and one for chanterelle.
Fun fact – iridium purple mushroom is expensive, but also it is a super strong healing item 🙂

Maple trees have a high red mushroom % with a low chance of purple as well. There isn’t really a way to 100% get purple mushrooms though you could go all out with mystic trees as that is probably your best bet.
You also want to let them get moss which increases the mushroom quality, maybe these ones havent been around long enough to develope moss
