In the field
The listed growth time is the base time per fungus in a crystal bed. Fungi grow by day, need breathable air, power and watering, and must be native to that world. Waste speeds growth up 3×, nutrients 2×. The mother stays planted after harvest.
The giant fungi and mycelium of fungal worlds are mineable terrain. Repeated digging triggers a warning and then a local spore cloud: move away before it bursts. The small cave fungi are separate resources with different depths and uses.
