My thought was always that I can get fruits from other sources fairly easily, but mushrooms? Easier to just have the cave produce them

For me it's mushrooms. Kegs and jars take time.. maybe end game fruits with kegs/jars are more profitable but earlier that steady bit of fast cash really does help. And it's just easier to make money later on.. And about the CC, I'm never really in a rush to do things the fastest way so lat it take longer ig Iirc there isn't a way to change Ur choice right?

Mushrooms all the way, imo. you can get fruit on the farm directly through trees but you'll have to forage for shrooms.

I usually choose fruit bats because I never seem to have enough money for fruit trees the first year and a half.

I've tried both, neither makes a big difference, so don't stress and go with your gut!

I’m team mushrooms, but that’s also because I’m all about life elixirs.

I've always been team fruitbat but I think next time I need to go mushroom.

I wish the wizard let you change it up... I get attached to a save and hate restarting, but I then miss out on experiences.

Mushrooms every time!!! I know fruits are good for bundles but usually I can get 3-4 of the items needed for the bundle and then only need to buy one fruit tree. I can make that money easily with mushrooms. For me, mushrooms can be hard to find so I prefer to have a secured steady flow.

Team fruit bats solely for the community center. I get that mushrooms are better in the long run but I feel like there's so many more efficient ways to make money that it just doesn't matter at that point.

Mushrooms. I choose them cuz you can make a bit of money in the early stages or use them for energy but in the later stages I would have preferred a fruit cave because it’s one more room to decorate

Bats are useful in the short term to complete the community centre, but past that mushrooms are generally more reliable.

The difference is specially visible in the late game, as you can produce as much fruit as you want inside the greenhouse.
