Weird Fungus
Weird Fungus is a collection of powder materials found in various biomes in Noita that induces 
Tripping when ingested.
Behaviour
Weird Fungus can be easily walked through, although it does not provide air and can cause suffocation if one remains inside it for too long.
Unlike most materials, it will slowly grow upwards, usually forming slender columns. If a moderate amount falls down due to the ground beneath it being destroyed, the movement seems to accelerate its growth, quickly generating massive spires of pink fungus. Pouring it from a Powder Pouch from great height can create massive towers of fungus.
If ingested, causes you to receive the Tripping status effect. This causes visual and aural distortions. If further amounts are ingested, the distortions increase, and at high levels of the Tripping status, strange eyes will open and close at random in the background, with an accompanying sound effect. When the tripping status progresses to Tripping balls (180s), a Fungal Reality Shift will occur.
Weird Fungus is highly flammable and will quickly burn away if exposed to Fire or Lava.
Green and Yellow Fungus
The green and yellow variants, labelled "Fungus", are rarer variants of Weird Fungus, and behave in very similar fashions. Like Mystery Fungus, they will not be removed if Weird Fungus is removed by a Fungal Reality Shift. Unlike Mystery Fungus, they will break into the green and yellow versions of Slime (respectively) instead of Fungus Blood.
Sources
- Weird Fungus grows out of Fungal Soil, which is commonly found in the Fungal Caverns and Overgrown Cavern. Even though these biomes don't have Weird Fungus on biome generation, it will quickly grow off screen as you approach.
- Weird Fungus has a chance to appear in a rare structure found in the Mines or Collapsed Mines.
- Weird Fungus appears within the giant mushroom structure in the Desert Chasm.
- There is a 10.7% chance that a Powder Pouch is
Weird Fungus. - There is a chance of Weird Fungus being the outcome of a Fungal Reality Shift.
- Green fungus can be found naturally lining rare cave structures in the Mines and Collapsed Mines.
- Very rare chance of obtaining any powder variant of Weird Fungus as a random material potion from a Treasure Chest or Great Treasure Chest.
Corpses
The corpse variant can be found as the corpses of the following enemies.
Notes
- It is possible for a Fungal Reality Shift to remove both Weird Fungus and Fungus Blood from the game, making it harder to trip.
- If you have a scarce amount of Weird Fungus, you can make more of it easily by pouring it at a great height from a pouch. This makes the fungus grow rapidly as it falls. Getting a new full pouch of fungus can be done instantly this way.
