'''Floor fungus''' is an underground floor-covering fungus, growing natively in the first [[cavern]] layer. As it is functionally a [[grass]], [[grazer]]s may feed on it.
+
'''Floor fungus''' is functionally identical to [[cave moss]] and [[underlichen]], differing only in texture.

As with [[Caverns#Benefits|most underground grasses]], floor fungus only appears after a [[cavern]] containing floor fungus has been discovered. It spreads anywhere there is mud and can potentially be used for [[Farm plots]].
  
As with [[Caverns#Benefits|the other underground grasses]], floor fungus only appears after a [[cavern]] containing floor fungus has been discovered. After that has happened, it may spread on any below-ground [[soil]] surface, or on a muddied stone surface that has not been smoothed. The amount of mud on the surface does not affect the distribution or growth rate of subterranean plants [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=122150].
+
It is mostly harmless and can be used to graze animals, like an underground form of [[grass]]. Mushrooms may occasionally grow from the fungus, which can block farm plots until they are mature and ready to be harvested.
  
While it might appear [[plump helmet|other]] [[sweet pod|types]] [[cave wheat|of]] [[dimple cup|fungi]] grows from the floor fungus, this is really just that they too grow on the same muddy floor.
+
You can set up a plant gathering zone to automatically harvest the mushrooms as they grow inside your fortress, to not take up space.
