Long story: I've started a new world today, and I soon went in search of a village. I took a boat and got lucky. Found a mushroom biome right away.
What this means is that now, barely having started a new world, I basically have unlimited food and free reign to explore caves without fear to die. This seems extremely wrong and to me, in contrast to any other part of the world, this is pretty much a completely safe haven...
---------------------------------------------
TL,DR:
Allow monsters to spawn in mushroom biomes, at least in the caves if not over micelyum.

Or at least let 'wolves' spawn there ;)

Re: Allow monster spawns in mushroom biomes
There is only so much ore under a mushroom biome. Eventually, you'll have to leave to find resources on other biomes. I'd be okay with having mobs spawn under the biome in caves, but the real push for me to find a Mushroom island is the no-spawn rules that apply to it. Otherwise, the biome has no purpose besides the aesthetic features of mycelium and mushroom blocks, and the cows.

Re: Allow monster spawns in mushroom biomes
Mushroom biomes are also so rare that it wouldn't matter anyways. I've only found 1 in my entire time playing mc and that wasn't even legitly playing.

Re: Allow monster spawns in mushroom biomes
Hmmm...I just looked it up, and I had previously believed that monsters could still spawn underground in mushroom biomes. I'll agree that without that aspect, yeah...it's pretty lame.
I'll think about it some. It feels rather half finished to me, like the intent was that mobs not be able to spawn on the mycellium itself, which would actually be kind of cool, make a bit more sense, and provide the player with a reason to find/farm it.
They're rare enough that I don't think the impact on balance is disastrous overall, but if I can provide an additional use for the stuff in the process, it might be worthwhile for me to change around how it works.
Just as an FYI, I'm always more interested in hearing about in-game issues rather than solutions. The valuable information to me here is that mushroom biomes are excessive safe-zones, rather than the suggestion to allow monster spawns in them. In other words, "do something to increase challenge in mushroom biomes" is of more use to me than "allow monster spawns".
Anyways, it's a valid point regardless. Will think about it.
