“	We're almost sorry to send employees in here, but the rewards are too great to ignore. So therefore: Welcome to the Fungus Bogs! A truly awful region, built mostly from slime, mold, stinging insects, fungus, stinking mud, and corrosive lichen.
	— Ingame description

The Fungus Bogs is one of the biomes of Hoxxes IV. They are made up of large caverns filled with different kinds of Xenofungi, which may range in size from small to extremely large. Larger Xenofungi are big enough to be used as platforms. The rock making up the caves is durable, meaning it takes two hits for it to give way.

Hazards

The biome-specific hazards for Fungus Bogs are Poison Spores Fungus, medium-sized mushrooms that release poisonous vapors, damaging dwarves who get too close, and Sticky Goo, a deep-green bubbly goo which can cover large areas of the floor, dramatically slowing movement of any dwarf or enemy walking across it.

Like other biomes, the Fungus Bogs have Explosive Plants, which explode violently when sufficiently damaged. The explosions are able to trigger other nearby explosive plants, which may then cause a deadly chain-reaction.

Enemies

Most enemies can be encountered in the Fungus Bogs, including Spitball Infectors, Cave Leeches and Glyphid Dreadnoughts.

Biome Features

Item	Description	Statistics
Functional
Glow Tree	Trees with various bioluminescent bulbs at the end of its branches. The bulbs will shed a purple light on the surrounding area if they are shot or hit with a pickaxe, hitting all five bulbs will make the tree light up permanently, illuminating the surrounding area to light level 13. The base of the tree can be grappled by Scout, but the branches cannot be the end point for the Grapple or Zipline, despite having a collision box.	Health: 1500
Steam Geyser	Rocky geysers which periodically spray hot gas and liquid, propelling dwarves in its faced direction (usually upwards). If destroyed, they explode violently, dealing large amounts of damage to any enemy or dwarf nearby.	Hardness: 2 Damage: 200 Radius: 3m
Exploding Plant	Glowing plants of varying size that explode violently when damaged. The largest plant needs less damage to detonate it, and larger plants have bigger and more damaging explosions. Also found Dense Biozone and Magma Core.	Health: 20/30 Damage: 150/200/400 Radius: 3m/4.5m/6m
Sticky Goo	Thick bubbly green gunk. Slows down any dwarves or glyphids attempting to pass through it. It also reduces fall damage if landed on.	x0.3 Movement Speed
Poison Spores Fungus	Sickly yellow fungi that release harmful green lingering vapors when a dwarf gets too close, causing poison damage over time. They also release vapors when destroyed. The vapors are flammable.	Health: 50 Damage: 3

Ores

As with every biome, some of the Ores that can be found in the Fungus Bogs are determined by the mission type, such as Morkite and Aquarq. The crafting materials found in the Fungus Bogs are Croppa and Jadiz, with Croppa being abundant and Jadiz being scarce.
