So for my class I have to use the Greenfoot IDE. And my goal is to:
“the pig eats all the mushrooms currently in the barrel”
The pig will have to call the barrel’s getMushroom() method to find out how many mushrooms the barrel currently stores. The pig can add this amount to its count of mushrooms eaten. Remember, the mushrooms are already gone from the world - this happened when the barrel “stored them.”
However if I try and go into the Pig class and use Barrel.getMushrooms(); it says non-static method getMushrooms() cannot be referenced from a static context.
But when I try using stuff like
Barrel b1 = new Barrel();
b1.getMushrooms();
My counter with shrooms never works out right..

Your pig needs a reference to the barrel class. Typically in Greenfoot, class A gets a reference to class B in one of two ways:
Class A is passed the reference to B on creation. This is typical if B creates A: for example if a gun fires bullets, the gun passes a gun reference to the bullet.
Class A collides with class B, for example your player character runs into a collectable, or an enemy collides with your player.
I'm not certain, but I suspect you fall under case 2, in which case you want to use:
Barrel b = (Barrel)getOneIntersectingObject(Barrel.class);
The b variable will be null when you're not touching a barrel, and otherwise it will be a Barrel object which you can call methods on.
