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 mined instantly and always drops itself. Mining a flower pot containing a fungus drops both items separately.

Block	Fungi
Hardness	0
Breaking time (secs)
Default	0.05

Legend

• incorrect tool, drops nothing
• correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
• correct tool, drops the block itself
• italicized can be instant mined

According to issue reports, fungus has tags that indicate that axes are the preferred tool for breaking fungus and that swords would decrease the breaking time, if it were nonzero. However, because fungus can be mined instantaneously, these tags have no effect on gameplay.

Natural generation

Fungi naturally generate in the crimson forest and warped forest biomes, with each fungus most commonly generating in its respective biome and less frequently in the other.

Mob loot

An enderman holding a fungus drops the fungus upon death.

Generated loot

Item	Structure	Container	Quantity	[hide]Chance
Java Edition and Bedrock Edition
Crimson Fungus	Bastion Remnant	Hoglin stable chest	2–7	22.8% { "item": "Crimson Fungus", "stacksize": "2–7", "chance": 0.22793887963348602, "structure": "Bastion Remnant", "container": "Hoglin stable chest" }

Post-generation

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

Usage

Placement

All of the blocks that fungi can be placed on.

Fungi may be placed on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, podzol, farmland, rooted dirt, moss blocks, nylium, mycelium, soul soil, mud and muddy mangrove roots. Attempting to place it on any other block fails. 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 pots.

Growth

When bone meal is used on a fungus that is planted on matching nylium, it has a 40% chance to grow into its tall equivalent (similar to saplings and mushrooms). Crimson and warped fungi grow into crimson and warped huge fungi, respectively. The stem, shroomlight, or wart blocks may replace certain blocks including slabs and torches.

Breeding

Crimson fungus can be used to breed hoglins and keep them from despawning, but feeding hoglins does not stop them from attacking the player. Warped fungus can be used to breed striders and lead them around if crafted as a warped fungus on a stick.

Hoglins

All hoglins, regardless of age, avoid and run up to 7 blocks 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.

September 28, 2019							Crimson and Warped fungus was shown as part of crimson forest biome.
1.16			20w06a				Added crimson and warped fungi.
							Warped fungi have different textures for item and placed form. This does not affect crimson fungi.
			20w07a				Crimson fungi and warped fungi can now be obtained by bartering with piglins, making them renewable. Crimson fungi has a 10⁄109 (~9.17%) chance of being offered in a stack of 1–4, while warped fungi has a 5⁄109 (~4.59%) chance of being offered in a stack of 1–2.
							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.
							Fungus can now be planted in flower pots.
			March 3, 2020				Adrian Östergård states fungi are to be renewable in the future, but not through bartering.
			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, despite this already being the case in the prior snapshot.
			20w12a				Crimson fungi and warped fungi now generate when bone meal is used on nylium, making them both renewable again.
			20w13a				Warped fungi can now be used to craft warped fungus on a stick.
							Striders can now be bred using warped fungus.
			20w15a				Crimson and warped fungi can now be composted.

							Warped fungi can now be used to craft warped fungus on a stick.
							Striders can now be bred using warped fungus.
