Brain fungus

Brain fungus is a type of fungus that has appeared in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76. In Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, brain fungus was simply a static decor model, but in later games became a harvestable consumable.
==Biology==
Brain fungus is an order of fungus that primarily grows in cool, dark and damp environments in clusters spreading outward. The appearance of brain fungus is typically white (environmental factors can affect this) in a bulbous polyp shape with various interweaving ridges giving it the resemblance of a brain, hence the species name. The usefulness of brain fungus is unknown in New California, but on the East Coast and Appalachia, brain fungus has been used as an alternative ingredient to Mentats and used to make Brain bombs. It is also edible on its own, but is typically cooked into a soup to make Brain fungus soup.
