Floor fungus is the yellow one.

Floor fungus is functionally identical to cave moss and underlichen, differing only in texture.

As with 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, unless a mushroom has grown on it. As you cannot gather mushrooms until they are fully grown, it would be wise to create your farm plots before mushrooms start showing up on the floor fungus.

To prevent the spread of floor fungus, construct non-soil floors, i.e. don't use a material like clay for the flooring.

It is mostly harmless and can be used to graze animals, like an underground form of grass. Mushrooms may occasionally grow from the fungus.

You can set up a plant gathering zone to automatically harvest the mushrooms as they grow inside your fortress, to not take up space.

Not Guano.
