Requirements
- Slated for Upgrades Side Quest
After getting the Sheikah Sensor + upgrade, talk to Symin to start the quest.[1]
Walkthrough
Symin has tasked Link with capturing a picture of a Sunshroom that is behind the lab. The quickest way to the back of the building is a back door just to the left of Symin. Literally on the other side of the wall from Symin is a Sunshroom. Take a picture of it and return to Symin.
Symin wants three more Sunshrooms. Use the new Sensor+ feature if you wish to find them, and return them to Symin. Symin suggests visiting the nearby Retsam Forest.[2] After getting three Sunshrooms, return to Symin to claim your reward of three Hearty Truffles.[3][4]
Continue to talk to Symin to complete the quest for an additional offering afterwards. After some explanatory dialogue, you will eventually get an option to purchase pictures for your compendium from Symin for 100 rupees each. This is a significant time and energy saver for completing the compendium, and as the compendium allows you to track whatever you like using Sensor+, a significant upgrade to your Sensor+ options. Note that specific entries cannot be selected for purchase—only the category can be picked.
Note that when using Sensor+, if you have Wolf Link, he can help direct you to your designated target, as long as he is not distracted chasing after enemies and wildlife. However if that target is edible and he is not at full health, he may eat it before you can catch up to him. But in most cases, this is very helpful and increases the usefulness of Sensor+ even more.

You gave Symin the three sunshrooms he requested.
Symin helped you see how valuable registering things to your Hyrule Compendium can be. If you have an item registered in your compendium, it's easy to find with the Sheikah Sensor+.
