Mutant Cave Fungus is a consumable item in the Fallout: New Vegas DLC Old World Blues.
Gameplay
Whereas a normal Cave Fungus would reduce radiation, mutant cave fungus adds radiation when consumed and has an appropriate green glow. This item is needed to create Nightstalker Squeezin's, Thick Red Paste, Black Blood Sausage and Battle Brew. They respawn in the named locations every 72 game hours (3 game days).
