You'll need 168 Philanemo Mushrooms, which equates to three days of farming unless you have the opportunity to join a friend or another player in their world to gather what you need.
Unfortunately, this item cannot be farmed in the teapot as of now.

MONDSTADT CITY
(0 - 27)

Starting from the Cathedral area Waypoint, make a loop that travels south first and then east, to circle back up and turn back west towards the starting point. In this route, you never have to leave the city to harvest them.

Since several of this Mushrooms will be on windmills or tall walls, you can make a great use of Nahida, if you have her, as it will save you a lot of climbing up. There are 28 Philanemo just in Mondstadt City!
