Environmental mutations happen because of outside factors. These can be things like weather conditions such as thunderstorms or frost. Sometimes, certain pets can also cause mutations.
For example, a Polar Bear pet might trigger an environmental mutation. These external events or creatures influence the plant to change in some way.
Growth mutations, on the other hand, happen naturally as the crop grows. These mutations occur during the normal growth cycle of the plant.
You can also apply growth mutations after the crop has grown by using a special pet, like a Dragonfly, which can turn the crop into gold. The chance of getting a growth mutation can be increased or even made certain by using special tools.
For example, sprinklers can help boost the chances. Also, fruit that grows on already mutated plants can lead to more mutations.
