Fungus

Fungi (mushrooms) are edible sporebearers, and is one of the six main types of food in WoW.

Uses[]

Player Characters can eat fungus to recover health. (No fungus items provide a Well Fed buff at this time.)
Hunters can feed fungus to some pets, including bats and gorillas.

(These are the same uses as other types of food.)

Sources[]

Players can loot fungus from humanoids, undead, and from chests.
Fungus can be gotten as quest rewards.
Players can purchase fungus from fungus vendors.
A quick survey of Cooking recipes does not show any fungus type foods that can be created by cooks at this time.

Notes[]

As with other food types, some inventory items are 'fungus' and use fungus graphics for their icon, but are not fungus (food) in the game. For example, [Ghost Mushroom] is an herb that can be gathered by herbalists, and is used in alchemy recipes. [Redcap Toadstool] is curative item that is 'used' (presumably ingested) like a potion would be used, rather than eaten over time, requiring sitting, like a food. [Tallstalk Mushroom] is another fungus that is 'used' rather than eaten. [Glowcap]s are collected as a repeatable reputation turn-in quest item, then used as currency for purchases with the Sporeggar Faction.
