Metaphor: ReFantazio has lots of things to do during your free time on the Gauntlet Runner, with cooking being one of the more flexible ones. By ranking up Maria, you can unlock speed cooking along with the ability to also cook more than you have ingredients for.

Cooking offers great healing items, though each recipe requires specific ingredients. Some are much rarer than others, like Gauntlet Shrooms. Gauntlet Shrooms can only be obtained through chance, though you'll at least need to know where to look for them.

Where To Find Gauntlet Shrooms In Metaphor: ReFantazio

Gauntlet Shrooms can randomly be found in the pantry on the Gauntlet Runner. The Pantry is the first room down the hallway to the right when leaving the main control room. It is to the right of the kitchen, and it can be checked daily to get two cooking ingredients. By interacting with the pantry door, a scene will show the protagonist searching for ingredients and finding two. Gauntlet Shrooms are one of these random rewards, so check the Gauntlet Runner daily to always have a chance of finding them.

The items given for checking the pantry are randomized every time you open the door, meaning you can continue to save and load to try multiple times on the same in-game day to get Gauntlet Shrooms.

Checking the pantry doesn't cost any free time, and can be done while the Gauntlet Runner is moving or while it is stationary in town, during morning or night. Only one bundle of Gauntlet Shrooms can be obtained at a time, so it's still important to check daily to try and get more, along with all the other ingredients you'll be getting for checking the pantry daily. It is possible to constantly reload save files to farm Gauntlet Shrooms in only a few days, but as long as you check the pantry daily they will spawn every three or four days on average, so start checking the pantry daily as early as possible.
