Warped fungus is a plant item you find in the Nether. You can’t craft it, so you have to search the world and collect it by hand.
Where to Find Warped Fungus
Head to the Nether and look for warped fungus in these biomes:
Warped Forest
The best place to find it. Warped fungus is scattered across the ground and grows as part of the terrain. You’ll see it as small purple/blue mushroom-like growths.
Crimson Forest
You can also find warped fungus here, but it’s less common than in the Warped Forest biome.
