These will be used for seasonal crafting ingredients so they will be well worth collecting as and when you see them. Isabelle should have all the details for you when you log in to the game next, telling you to check at the base of trees.

They are said to be elegant, round, skinny and flat mushrooms and finding them all will uncover some helpful DIY recipes.
