Cave fungus is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics

Cave fungi are pieces of fungus skewered on a stick, like a "kebab". They are difficult to find in the Mojave Wasteland, and are mainly used to make hydra at campfires. They are identical in appearance to iguana bits and strange meat.

Patch 1.2.0.31x significantly increased cave fungus drop rates from Legionaries.

With the Honest Hearts add-on, cave fungi are present in abundance in most caves in Zion Canyon, the pickable fungi being the red glowing bunches, and sometimes with other different colored fungi such as green, yellow, blue, and white. However, the item image is a package which says 'Food' across it rather than the skewer. The world object is also changed if you have Honest Hearts; it consists of several red mushroom caps instead of the skewer.

Locations

  • Legionaries have a chance to drop these.
  • One can be found on the fourth level (common areas level) of Vault 22 in the kitchen/bar.
  • There are three located on the picnic table in the first long trailer in the Red Rock Drug Lab
  • Cave fungus can found in very large amounts (50+) in most of the caves in the Zion Canyon, which requires the Honest Hearts add-on. The fungus in these caves will regrow given time.
