They are crops you can get when you use the Inquisitive Waltz in the dungeons.
Inquisitive Waltz:
1-Second Generation.
2-Build a Library
3-Get Striking March from the Inn, the room at the right in the first floor.
4-Go to the library and get Inquisitive Waltz.
5-Go to a dungeon and bring any tamed moster along with you.
6-Clear the field in the area of the dungeon you are in. Make sure you have defeated any monsters.
7.Use the Inquisitive Waltz and the Monster should bring you various items, including Golden Crops.
No, as far as I know the kind of monster doesn't affect what item you get.
I have been hearing though that your Communication skill affects it. I thought this had no effect, but I've heard some rumors? Can anyone confirm?
EDIT: But, I do know that not only the map you use it at but the exact location within the map affects it too! For example at Trieste Forest - Spring Clearing, you'll only get onion if you search near that big rock in the middle (the onion is under the rock).
