How to find and use mycelia

in satisfactoryPlayers must constantly collect raw materials to refine and create more high-tech materials and products. One such material is mycelia, or fungus, which can be used for fuel for generators or crafting parts. However, mycelia is a bit rarer than other raw plant matter to come by, with only a few areas early having it.

The quickest way to find mycelia is to Keep an eye out for caves, which can be found as small openings at the base of rock walls In early areas. Once you find one, you can harvest the mushrooms inside. There are several more places to find this resource, and some are more effective.

Where to find mycelia

What to look for when exploring the world of satisfying

In the beginning Grass fields area, there are only bushes and trees available to harvest. But, by found cavesYou can venture down below to harvest mushrooms early to pick Mycelia. In the early stages, mycelia can be especially useful for Generating biomassAnd later biofuel, as it has a higher refining ratio than leaves and wood.

The best way to find these caves is to keep an eye on them Bases of cliffs For small openings, which can be easy to miss. however, Explore at night Can make this easier, as the mushrooms inside caves glow blue in the dark and can be seen when passing closely by.

Once here, you can find Pillars of mushrooms Sticking out of the ground that can be harvested with the chainsaw. These bear a large amount of mycelia. In general, the collection of mycelia here is faster than using caves.

Mycelia research

Everything unlocked with Mycelia

Like most resources in the game, harvesting mycelia for the first time will trigger ADA to notify you New research available at the MAMor molecular analysis machine. By providing raw mycelia and other resources, you can Unlock the different nodes To get new rewards and craftable items.

Each node only receives Three seconds to research. However, you have to Unlock previous nodes To research the next item. Some branches, such as these Synthetic polyester fabricWill not be unlocked until later than the materials require At least Tier 5 to obtain

The most important recipes that you can make

Although Mycelia may not be used in many recipes, it is still a valuable resource that you will need even in the end game. Besides generating fuel for Biomass burnersMycelia is pivotal in some medicinal recipes, called inhalers. These consumables refill your full health bar in a pinch, but must be kept in a hand slot to use.

Ingredients	facility	Wear
	Constructor	10x biomass
	Assembler	1x fabric
	Equipment workshop	1x vitamin inhaler
15x mycelia 1x foreign protein 1x Bacon Agaric	Equipment workshop	1x therapeutic inhaler

In addition, mycelia is a component of ClothWhat is needed to produce these Parachute and other things. Other than the parachute, fabric won’t be needed for much at first. However, once you reach later tiers, fabric is a key component to making the Gas mask and hazmat suit. These unlock at Tier 5 and Tier 7 respectively, and both protect you from the elements when equipped.

The Gas mask Protects you from poisonous clouds while exploring the planet, and you will need to periodically create new ones Gas filters To refill your mask.
