A crimson fungus is a mushroom-like block that generates in the Nether.

Obtaining

Breaking

A crimson fungus can be mined instantly and always drops itself. Mining a flower pot containing a crimson fungus drops both items separately.

Hardness	0
Breaking time (secs)

Legend

Natural generation

Crimson Fungi naturally generate in the crimson forest and warped forest biomes, with crimson fungus most commonly generating in its respective biome, the crimson forest and less frequently in the other, the warped forest.

Mob loot

An enderman holding a crimson fungus drops the fungus upon death.

Generated loot

Item	Structure	Container	Quantity	Chance
Java Edition and Bedrock Edition
	Bastion Remnant	Hoglin stable chest	2–7	22.8% { "item": "Crimson Fungus", "stacksize": "2–7", "chance": 0.22793887963348602, "structure": "Bastion Remnant", "container": "Hoglin stable chest" }

Post-generation

Applying bone meal to nylium causes crimson fungi to appear nearby, similar to flowers on grass blocks. While crimson fungi and other Nether vegetation can generate this way, they are more likely to be the same type as the nylium.

Usage

Placement

Crimson fungi may be placed on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, podzol, farmland, rooted dirt, moss blocks, nylium, mycelium, soul soil, mud and muddy mangrove roots. Attempting to place it on any other block fails. Crimson fungi requires a solid block underneath it, and pops off and drops itself if it is no longer supported.

Crimson fungi can also be placed in flower pots.

Growth

When bone meal is used on a crimson fungus that is planted on crimson nylium, it has a 40% chance to grow into its tall equivalent (similar to saplings and mushrooms). Crimson fungi grow into huge crimson fungi. The stem, shroomlight, or wart blocks may replace certain blocks including slabs and torches.

Breeding

Crimson fungus can be used to breed hoglins and keep them from despawning, but feeding hoglins does not stop them from attacking the player.

Composting

Placing a crimson fungus into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
