Floor fungus is the yellow one.

Floor fungus is an underground floor-covering fungus, growing natively in the first cavern layer. As it is functionally a grass, grazers may feed on it.

As with the other underground grasses, floor fungus only appears after a cavern containing floor fungus has been discovered. After that has happened, it spreads anywhere underground[Verify] where there is mud.

While it might appear other types of fungi grows from the floor fungus, this is really just that they too grow on the same muddy floor.

Not Guano.
