Crimson Fungus block in Minecraft

Added in 1.16 Stack size: 64

The Crimson Fungus grows into a huge crimson fungus with bone meal on Crimson Nylium, and hoglins breed with it. Nether plants grow on nylium in the crimson and warped forests.

It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It can be composted: each one has a 65% chance to add a layer to a Composter.

What it does

They break instantly, need no light and can also be planted on soul soil, dirt or moss in the Overworld. They do not burn, unlike Overworld plants. All of them fit in a flower pot except the sprouts, and all can be composted.

How to craft

This item has no crafting recipe.
