This article is about the fungi found in the Nether. For Overworld mushrooms, see Mushroom. For the structure, see Huge fungus.

Fungi are mushroom-like blocks that generate in the Nether. There are two types of fungus: crimson fungus and warped fungus.

Occurrence

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.

Post-generation

Applying bone meal to nylium causes fungi to appear nearby, similar to flowers on grass blocks. While fungi of both types do generate this way, they are more likely to be the same type as the nylium.

Placement

Fungi may be placed on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, podzol, farmland, nylium, and soul soil. Attempting to place it on any other block fails. Fungus requires a solid block underneath it, and pops off and drop itself if it is no longer supported.

Obtaining

Loot

From block loot

Fungi can be mined instantly with any tool or with no tool.

Growth

When bone meal is used on fungi that is planted on matching nylium, it grows into its tall equivalent (similar to grass and seagrass). In Bedrock Edition, fungi grows into its tall equivalent with any type of nylium. Crimson and warped fungi grow into crimson and warped huge fungi, respectively.

Breeding

Crimson fungi can be used to breed hoglins and lead them around. Warped fungi can be used to breed striders and lead them around.

Hoglins

All hoglins, irrespective of age, avoid and run up to 7 blocks away from warped fungi when it is placed on a block or inside of a flower pot. This does not affect held warped fungus.

					Hoglins can now be bred with crimson fungi.
					Hoglins now run away from warped fungi.
		20w09a			"Fungi" has been renamed to "Fungus".
					Crimson fungus can no longer be obtained by bartering with piglins, making it no longer renewable.
					Huge fungi can now be grown only if the fungus is on the same type of nylium.

		20w10a			The inventory texture of warped fungi has been changed to match the block form.
					Warped fungus can no longer be obtained by bartering with piglins, making it no longer renewable.
