A '''fungus''' is a [[mushroom]]-like block that generates in [[the Nether]]. There are two types of fungi: crimson and warped.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A fungus can be [[instant mining|mined instantly]] using any [[tool]] or with no tool, and always drops itself as an [[Item (entity)|item]]. Mining a [[flower pot]] containing a fungus drops the flower pot along with the fungus.

=== Natural generation ===
Fungi naturally generate in the [[crimson forest]] and [[warped forest]] biomes. Crimson fungi most commonly generate in the [[crimson forest]] biome and warped fungi most commonly generate in the [[warped forest]] biome. Warped fungi can generate in crimson forests and crimson fungi in warped forests but this is uncommon.

=== Mob loot ===
An [[enderman]] holding a fungus drops the fungus upon death.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|crimson-fungus}}

=== Post-generation ===
Applying [[bone meal]] to [[nylium]] causes fungi to appear nearby, similarly to [[flower]]s on [[grass block]]s. While fungi of both types and other Nether vegetation generate this way, they are more likely to be the same type as the nylium.<ref>{{ytl|t6Y2ZxDCjKs}}</ref>

== Usage ==
=== Placement ===
[[File:FungusPlaceBlock.png|thumb|All of the blocks that fungi can be placed on.]]
Fungi can be placed on [[grass block]]s, [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[podzol]], [[farmland]], [[rooted dirt]], [[moss block]]s, [[nylium]], [[mycelium]], [[soul soil]], [[mud]], and [[muddy mangrove roots]]. Fungi requires a solid block underneath it, and pops off and drops itself if it is no longer supported.

Fungi can also be placed in [[flower pot]]s.

=== Growth ===
When [[bone meal]] is {{ctrl|used}} on a fungus that is planted on matching [[nylium]], it has a 40% chance to grow into its [[Huge fungus|tall equivalent]] (similarly to [[sapling]]s and [[Huge mushroom|mushrooms]]). Crimson and warped fungi grow into crimson and warped huge fungi, respectively. The [[stem]], [[shroomlight]], or [[Nether Wart Block|nether wart block]] may replace certain blocks including [[Slab|slabs]] and [[Torch|torches]].

=== Breeding ===
Crimson fungus can be used to breed [[hoglin]]s and keep them from despawning, but it does not stop the hoglin from attacking the player. Warped fungus can be used to breed [[strider]]s and lead them around if crafted as a [[Warped Fungus on a Stick|warped fungus on a stick]].

=== Hoglins ===
All [[hoglin]]s, regardless of age, avoid and run up to 7 [[block]]s away from warped fungus when it is placed on a block or inside of a [[flower pot]]. Held warped fungi and warped fungi on sticks do not have this effect.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage|Crimson Fungus, Warped Fungus}}
An enchanted fishing rod can be used in crafting as well, although the enchantment will not be passed onto the warped fungus on a stick. It will also not be counted by the counter in the crafting interface for how many warped fungus on a stick can be crafted.

=== Composting ===
Placing a fungus into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
