How to play Magic Mushrooms on Mac
Game summary
The theme of the game is to guide Murphy through the screens collecting his mushrooms. The mushrooms appear in each room in random positions each time you play the game, so you have to be adept at going around the screen in a number of different ways. Points are scored for picking the mushrooms and for completing a screen within the time limit.

Play Magic Mushrooms on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Magic Mushrooms on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Magic Mushrooms installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Magic Mushrooms like you would on any PC.
