Fungal Mould is a resource.

Summary

Fungal Mould (Ml) is a resource and one of the Harvested Agricultural Substance flora elements.

The British spelling of this phrase is used in the wiki.

Game Description

An oddly-glowing substance, harvested from the gills of Fungal Clusters.

The host plant requires a toxic climate to thrive in the wild, but can be farmed in all environments with the aid of a Hydroponics Tray.

Collecting Fungal Mould in the wild

As described in the Summary, this element can be obtained from specific reddish-brown mushrooms on toxic planets. Safely harvesting this resource requires the use of Haz-Mat Gauntlet.

With assistance from a Farmer, Fungal Mould can also be grown as a product of the Fungal Cluster plant, with a harvest time of 4 hours yielding 50 Fungal Mould.

Fungal Mould can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

• Fungal Mould ×1  +   Ammonia ×1  →   Fungal Mould ×2  ("Organic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)
• Ammonia ×2  +   Oxygen ×1  →   Fungal Mould ×1  ("Encourage Growth", 0.36 sec./unit output)
• Ammonia ×1  +   Nitrogen ×1  →   Fungal Mould ×1  ("Encourage Growth", 0.24 sec./unit output)
• Ammonia ×1  +   Methane ×1  →   Fungal Mould ×1  ("Organic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)

Use

Crafting

Fungal Mould is used as an ingredient for crafting the following products:

• Acid  --  Mordite x25  +  Fungal Mould x600  →   Acid
• Fungal Cluster  --  Fungal Mould x50  +  Ammonia x25  →   Fungal Cluster

Refining

Fungal Mould is used as an ingredient for refining the following products using a Refiner:

• Ammonia  --  Fungal Mould x2  +  Salt x1  →   Ammonia x1  ("Floral Titration", 0.36 sec./unit output)
• Carbon  --  Fungal Mould x1  →   Carbon x2  ("Burn Plantlife", 0.12 sec./unit output)
• Fungal Mould  --  Fungal Mould x1  +  Ammonia x1  →   Fungal Mould x2  ("Organic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)
• Oxygen  --  Fungal Mould x1  +  Kelp Sac x1  +  Condensed Carbon x1  →   Oxygen x10  ("Artificial Photosynthesis", 3.6 sec./unit output)

Cooking

Fungal Mould is used as an ingredient for cooking the following products using a Nutrient Processor:

• Creature Pellets  --  Faecium x1  +  Fungal Mould x1  →   Creature Pellets x1  ("Prepare Bait", 2.5 sec./unit output)
• Non-Toxic Mushroom  --  Fungal Mould x1  →   Non-Toxic Mushroom x1  ("Extract Nutrients", 2.5 sec./unit output)
• Spore Dunkers  --  Sugar Dough x1  +  Fungal Mould x1  →   Spore Dunkers x1  ("Dough Augmentation", 2.5 sec./unit output)

Fishing Bait

When applied as bait, Fungal Mould gives the following bonus towards your next catch:

• Catch Rarity Improvement: 6%
• Catch Size Improvement: 2%

Additional Information

• Fungal Mould can be used to make Fibrous Stew without needing any other ingredients. After cooking the mould to create Non-Toxic Mushrooms, placing the product back into the Nutrient Processor will create Fibrous Stew.

Release History

• Foundation - Added as a resource.

• NEXT - It can now be refined as well as grown.
• Visions - Hidden changes: The information panel has an additional icon indicating its purpose.
• Waypoint - The Optical Drill no longer increases the harvest yield.
• Aquarius - Added fishing bait bonuses.
