Does mycelium spread to dirt? Spread. A mycelium block can spread to any dirt block within one space above, one sideways, or three down. The mycelium needs light level 9+ above it, while the dirt needs light level 4+ above it, and must not be covered by any light-impeding block or any opaque block.

Can mycelium spread onto dirt?

Mycelium will grow on any dirt block in an area where other mycelium blocks exist, even if the dirt blocks have a sapling or another plant on it (although the plant will fall off as soon as mycelium appears). Mycelium will spread to adjacent dirt blocks, as long as enough Light reaches the block (light level 9).

Will mycelium take over grass?

Mycelium and grass do not replace one another; whichever arrives on the dirt first will remain. If there is a sapling, seed, or flower on a block of dirt when mycelium spreads to it, the plant will pop out and drop as an item. Pumpkins and melons will not spawn on mycelium, even if the stalk is otherwise healthy.
