Natural: each fruit has a 1% chance to grow Gold. The Pig, Bacon Pig, Praying Mantis and sprinklers raise that chance.
Pets: the Dragonfly turns a random fruit Gold every 5 minutes at base weight; the Cockatrice has a small Gold chance on its screech.
Seeds and gear: the Super Seed and Gold Fertilizer work on crops (raising their produce's Gold chance).

Because variants multiply the mutation total, Gold matters most on a fruit that already has big mutations: Gold Shocked is ×2,000.

Gold on a fruit with no mutations: ×20 Gold + Shocked (×100): 20 × 100 = ×2,000 Gold + Shocked + Frozen (×10): 20 × (1 + 99 + 9) = ×2,180

A 1% natural chance (raised by the Pig, Praying Mantis and sprinklers), the Dragonfly or Cockatrice, the Super Seed, or Gold Fertilizer.

No. A fruit has one variant at a time.
