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.

Source[]

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 x1 + Ammonia x1 → Fungal Mould x2 ("Organic Expansion", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Ammonia x2 + Oxygen x1 → Fungal Mould x1 ("Encourage Growth", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Ammonia x1 + Nitrogen x1 → Fungal Mould x1 ("Encourage Growth", 0.6 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
Insulating Gel -- Cactus Flesh x20 + Fungal Mould x20 → Insulating Gel

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", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Carbon -- Fungal Mould x1 → Carbon x2 ("Burn Plantlife", 0.3 sec./unit output)
Fungal Mould -- Fungal Mould x1 + Ammonia x1 → Fungal Mould x2 ("Organic Expansion", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Oxygen -- Fungal Mould x1 + Kelp Sac x1 + Condensed Carbon x1 → Oxygen x10 ("Artificial Photosynthesis", 9 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 sec./unit output)
Enzyme Fluid -- Fungal Mould x1 + Faecium x1 → Enzyme Fluid x1 ("Prepare Bait", 5 sec./unit output)
Non-Toxic Mushroom -- Fungal Mould x1 → Non-Toxic Mushroom x1 ("Extract Nutrients", 5 sec./unit output)

Additional information[]

Having "Optical Drill" and "Mining beam upgrades" installed on the multi-tool increases the harvest yield amount.
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.
