Fungi (Skyrim)

Skyrim is home to many different species of mushrooms and fungi, all having unique properties. They can be found abundantly throughout the many cave systems and underground locations of Skyrim. Some species prefer growing on decaying wood or dying tree roots above ground. They are excellent alchemy ingredients used for the creation of potions and are generally easy to find.

The following have been gathered across all 9 holds of Skyrim:
 * Bleeding Crown
 * Blisterwort
 * Creep Cluster
 * Fly Amanita
 * Giant Lichen
 * Glowing Mushroom
 * Imp Stool
 * Mora Tapinella
 * Namira's Rot
 * Scaly Pholiota
 * Swamp Fungal Pod
 * White Cap
 * Giant Mushrooms (non-interactive)



Found directly south of Knifepoint Ridge, there is a small cluster of White Caps and rocks that create a perfect circle, or ring. In the center of this formation contains a copy of Father of Niben (book) and Staff of Reanimation.



Giant mushrooms can be found in various damp locations around Skyrim. The ancient Dwemer ruin Irkngthand contains a few species of giant mushrooms including large glowing mushrooms and other fungi. The Dwemer ruins of Blackreach are almost entirely covered by giant glowing mushrooms.
