− | '''Nutrifungus''' grows on lichen-covered soil and must be planted in and stay in complete darkness. So long as the darkness requirement is met, it can be grown in any [[terrain]] that is sufficiently fertile to support a [[growing zone]]. This includes, but is not limited to, [[fungal gravel]] and [[hydroponics basin]]s. Due to its low fertility sensitivity, it takes fewer penalties from poorer soils than more sensitive plants, but also benefits less from being in hydroponics.

− | Even without the Tunneler meme, fungus can be worthwhile to sow | + | Even without the Tunneler meme, fungus can be worthwhile to sow - nutrifungus can be grown in darkness. This means that [[sun lamp]]s are not required to grow fungus indoors. You can easily grow fungus in dark, heated [[room]]s during the winter, without using nearly as much [[power]] as a sun lamp would require. Useful in colder climates, even when considering the usual mood penalty of fungus, and the work penalty of darkness. |
It can also be grown freely if you are forced to (or [[Ideoligion#Darkness|want to]]) live under a [[sun blocker]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}. With a sun blocker, you'll still need to place a [[roof]] over the growing area for colonists to actually plant the crop. | It can also be grown freely if you are forced to (or [[Ideoligion#Darkness|want to]]) live under a [[sun blocker]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}.
