*[[Reefback]]|spawn = * ''acidmushroom''}}The '''Acid Mushroom''' is a hazardous type of [[Life Forms|life form]] belonging to the [[flora]] category. It is primarily used as a [[Raw Materials|raw material]] to manufacture [[Battery|Batteries]].

The [[Player]] can either pick by hand, or use a [[Survival Knife]] to harvest [[List of Plantable Flora|Acid Mushroom Spores]]. Be careful however, because harvesting in this manner can cause damage to the player, surrounding base structures, as well as nearby [[Fauna]] and flora.

The '''Acid Mushroom''' and its spores can be planted in an [[Exterior Growbed]], or in an [[Alien Containment]].

== Appearance ==
'''Acid Mushroom '''resemble real life mushrooms, having a very thick cap that appears to constantly pulsate.

There are two variations of '''Acid Mushrooms''': a small one with a purple hue, and a larger one featuring a bright magenta cap with rest of it fading to a dull violet color.

It seems to emit faint [[Bioluminescence|bioluminescent]] glows at night, like most fauna and flora.

== Behavior ==
The '''Acid Mushroom''' stays stationary on the seabed or other firm structures forming clusters.

As a defense mechanism, the '''Acid Mushroom''' has the ability to bursting open and release acid when damaged, damaging the player and destroying itself in the process. [[Vehicles]] like the [[Seamoth]] can also take heavy damage from ramming into or colliding with '''Acid Mushrooms'''. An '''Acid Mushrooms''' blast may also damage other '''Acid mushrooms''' in close proximity, leading to the bursting of its surrounding mushrooms, dealing heavy, often fatal damage to the player and even destroying vehicles - this usually happens when an '''Acid Mushrooms''' in a cluster is destroyed without the proper precautions.

When farming mushrooms, the best strategy is to pick up all nearby mushrooms before knifing a mushroom for its spores. Since each mushroom drops 4 spores, one can pick three mushrooms and collect spores from the fourth to restock their mushroom supply.

A common, spore-bearing fungi species, with developed defense mechanisms. The flesh contains a highly acidic compound which leaches into the water if the outer skin is penetrated. Fluctuations in the local water pressure may also cause it to shrink.

It is not clear which predator species necessitated such extreme counter-measures, but the acid mushroom's numbers suggest it has successfully deterred most of them.
