What are Mutations?
Grow a Garden offers players exclusive mutations alongside standard fruits and vegetables. These mutations are crucial for earning extra in-game cash. They are unique visual changes that boost crop value, making them stand out and often more profitable.
In Grow a Garden, mutations are your ticket to raking in a fortune of glittering Sheckles! These mutations supercharge your fruits' value, multiplying their sale price. From a modest 2x boost with Moonlit or Chilled fruits to an electrifying 125x surge with Disco fruit, the potential is wild! Best of all, these vibrant mutations can stack, piling on the profits and skyrocketing your crops' worth to mind-blowing heights.

| Fried |  | x8 | +7 | Triggered during a Fried Chicken event, this mutation is visually identified by small yellow particles that fall from the affected crop. |
| Frozen |  | x10 | +9 | Occurs during Frost when crops are both Wet and Chilled, or through Polar Bear interaction. Plants are encased in an ice block. |
| Cooked |  | x10 | +9 | There is a low probability that Cooked Owl will apply this mutation instead of Burnt. Affected plants will exhibit an orange coloration. |

Crop Value Calculation
The total value of a mutated crop is determined using the following formula:
Total Value = Minimum Value × Total Multiplier
Total Multiplier = Growth Mutation × (1 + Sum of Environmental Stack Bonuses)
or
Total Multiplier = Growth Mutation × (1 + Sum of Multipliers - Number of Mutations)
Because the Stack Bonus of each Mutation is equal to its Multiplier minus one.
When the weight of the crop exceeds its minimum weight, the calculation formula becomes complicated and is calculated as follows:
Total Value = k × Weight² × Total Multiplier
Formula Concepts
- Minimum Value: The base price of the crop before any mutations are applied.
- Growth Mutation: One of the following multipliers:
- - Default (×1)
- - Gold (×20)
- - Rainbow (×50)
- Sum of Environmental Stack Bonuses: The total bonus value of all applicable environmental mutations, added together.
- Total Multiplier: The final multiplier value, calculated by multiplying the growth mutation by the sum of environmental stack bonuses.
- Minimum Weight: When the weight is below the Minimum Weight of the Crop, the total value is calculated using the first formula and the Minimum Value of the Crop. When the weight exceeds the Minimum Weight, we use the second complex formula to calculate the total value of the Crop.
- k: The constant used to calculate the value of crops. Each crop has a different constant.
- Weight: The weight of a crop.
Constraints
- Only one of Gold or Rainbow mutations can be applied to a crop.
- Only one of Chilled, Wet, or Frozen mutations can be applied to a crop.
- For the "Dawnbound mutation", it can only be obtained on sunflower.
- Only one of Cooked or Burnt mutations can be applied to a crop.
