What to Do with Brain Fungus in Fallout 76
Brain Fungus is not just for completing challenges. It’s a versatile resource. You can satiate your hunger and thirst by crafting Brain Fungus Soup and gain a +2 Intelligence bonus for 30 minutes. The soup also provides a healing rate of 1.20 health per second and +2 boost to Intellect for 30 minutes, making it a valuable asset in your survival toolkit. In addition, if Brain Fungus is in the Blast Zone of a nuke fired by you or another player, it will turn into Raw Crimson Flux instead, which will spoil into Inert Flux after 90 minutes of being in your inventory.
