AI Overview
Compiled by AI from community sources — may be incomplete or inaccurate; verify before relying on it.
A bioluminescent cave mushroom whose fruiting bodies are harvested by hand as a prized petroleum-free industrial lubricant — and, in current builds, a crafting/turn-in material delivered to Wikelo.
What it is
Bluemoon Fungus is an organic harvestable: a fungus, not a plant or animal part. Its fruiting mushrooms spore in the depths of dark caves, and they are gathered as a highly valued, petroleum-free lubricant used across a wide variety of industries. In-game it is a hand-collected commodity rather than a ship-mined ore, and it belongs to the cave-flora set associated with bioluminescent cave biomes. The internal/scientific naming used by the data ("Armillaria" appears in the deposit signature data) points to a real-world honey-fungus genus the design borrows from, which is why this record lives under the `armillaria` slug.
Gameplay use
Primarily a crafting and contract-fulfillment material. It is collected by hand at cave/outpost deposits and then used as an input for the Wikelo Emporium crafting/turn-in economy: players deposit required quantities at a Wikelo Emporium freight elevator to complete a contract and earn a blueprint or item reward. One documented contract requires 20 units of Bluemoon Fungus toward the "Tripledown Heatwave" pistol reward. More broadly, creature and cave harvestables like this are being turned into usable crafting inputs in the blueprint/Item Fabricator system, with exotic materials gating certain recipes. It is not a refined ore and does not currently refine into anything.
Value & where to sell
No fixed kiosk/commodity-terminal price is currently listed for Bluemoon Fungus on the major databases — it is not sold or bought through standard trade terminals, so it has no stable aUEC market value. Its practical "value" is as a Wikelo contract material (turned in for blueprints/items) and through the player marketplace. Prices in Star Citizen are volatile and patch-dependent; treat any number as a snapshot.
Where to harvest
Bluemoon Fungus is gathered by hand at outpost/cave deposits across two systems, in dark cave environments lit by bioluminescent mushrooms. Databases list roughly 16 deposits: - Stanton (about 9 locations): including Jumptown (Daymar), Vivere PAF-II (Aberdeen outpost), Onyx Facilities, ArcCorp Security Post 087, HDSF-Adlai, and Raven's Roost. - Pyro (about 7 locations): including Stag's Rut, Sunset Mesa, The Golden Riviera, Chawla's Beach, Last Landings, Ashland, and a Derelict Outpost. Reported spawn behaviour at outpost deposits: ~60% spawn rate, 100% occurrence, ~1 hour respawn, ~10 minute despawn, ~5 minute wait, with a deposit "signature" of 2000. Because these are tied to caves and outposts, expect to scan/explore the dark cave biomes that CIG added to Stanton and Pyro.
Source
This is flora/fungus — there is no source creature. The harvestable is the fruiting mushroom (fruiting body) of the Bluemoon fungus itself, which spores in dark caves.

Grades & variants
No distinct grades or quality tiers (e.g. A/AA/AAA) are documented for Bluemoon Fungus in the sources reviewed; it appears as a single harvestable commodity. Crafting blueprints may specify a required input quality/grade generally, but no Bluemoon-specific grade variants are listed. It is packaged in box sizes of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 SCU, at a density of ~1 g/cc.
Effects
No medical, consumable, or buff/heal/poison effects are documented — it is an industrial/crafting material, not an edible or medicinal flora.

Lore
Per the in-fiction commodity blurb, Bluemoon fungus prefers to spore in the depths of dark caves, and its fruiting mushrooms are often collected as a highly valued petroleum-free lubricant used across a wide variety of industries — establishing it as a naturally occurring industrial resource in the 'verse rather than a manufactured one.
