[[PNF-404]] is covered in all sorts of '''vegetation''' in addition to its [[Enemy|animal wildlife]]. This includes an assortment of '''plants''' and '''fungi'''. Gameplay-wise, these can either be static background or [[area]] geometry elements, or they can be game objects that react to the world around them. For the most part, plants and fungi serve only an aesthetic purpose, but in some instances, they can directly contribute to the gameplay. With the [[Piklopedia]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', some plants and fungi were given a bit of importance inside the game itself, but because the explorers are not specialists in plant and fungus lifeforms familiar to humans, they mistakingly categorize things like [[Glowstem|LED lights]] as plants. In addition, [[Captain Olimar]] refers to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] as being "both plant and animal".{{cite quote|What exactly are these Pikmin? One could classify them as both plant and animal.|Captain Olimar|his [[Olimar's voyage log#Partial extinction|voyage log]]}}

==Vegetation as game objects==
As stated above, some forms of vegetation are game objects, much like the [[leader]]s or the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. They are dotted about the terrain, and most of them have minimal impact on the gameplay, serving only for decoration; at most, they gently sway when brushed against. However, while some plants and fungi may be decorative in and of themselves, upon touching them they may release some helpful enemies hiding within, like [[Unmarked Spectralids]], [[Honeywisp]]s or [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]s. Others can also act as [[hiding]] spots from predators. Finally, there is a small handful of plant and fungus objects that have an important role as a gameplay mechanic.

===Piklopedia===
{{Main|Piklopedia}}

The Piklopedia is an in-game feature in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. When the leaders interact with [[Enemy|enemies]] and vegetation, a record about the entity is created on the Piklopedia. In order for the player to complete the Piklopedia, they must touch at least one specimen of every recognizable plant and fungus in the game.

===Gameplay mechanics===
{{todo|list all interactive {{hp}} vegetation.}}
Some forms of vegetation in PNF-404 are actually helpful or obstructive to the [[leader]]s and their Pikmin, and serve as important gameplay mechanics &ndash; some must be interacted with to complete the game.

* '''{{icon|Pellet Posy}} [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]]''' have a single pellet on top of their stem. When the plant is taken down, it releases the pellet inside, which can be brought to an [[Onion]]. This provides a safe way of increase Pikmin population without having to interact with enemies or their corpses.

* '''{{icon|Burgeoning Spiderwort|y|v=spicy}}s''' contain berries that, when delivered to the [[Hocotate ship]] or [[S.S. Drake]], can be used to brew [[spray]]s. These plants can generate several berries throughout the day, making them a good origin of sprays; they do, however, need some upkeep in order to remain a healthy and reliable source.

* '''{{icon|Burgeoning Spiderwort mold|y}}s''' in {{p2}} suffocate Burgeoning Spiderworts and any Pellet Posies within their radii, rendering the plants inaccessible until the central molds are destroyed.

* '''{{icon|Crimson Candypop Bud|n|v=P3|n=Candypop buds|l=Candypop family}}''' are plants that can take in Pikmin and convert them to a different type. [[White Pikmin|White]] and [[Purple Pikmin]] can only be obtained via these plants.

* '''{{icon|Nectar weed|y}}''' is a type of grass that, when pulled out, has a chance of releasing a drop of [[nectar]]. Pikmin can be told to weed out these blades of grass in order to obtain the nectar within.

* '''{{icon|Common Glowcap|y|v=P3}}s''' in {{p3}} light up the area around them. This provides both lighting and protection from [[Phosbat]]s and the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]].

* '''{{icon|Spotcap|y}}s''' are often simply destructible scenery, but sometimes they can block a pathway or even contain [[Data File]]s.

* '''{{icon|Kingcap|y}}s''' always appear in dense collections of Spotcaps, blocking a path until Pikmin destroy it.

* '''{{icon|Bloominous Stemple|y}}s''' open up when lit, and serve as bridges to cross gaps.

* '''{{icon|Bouncy Mushroom|y}}s''' launch any Pikmin or leaders to a specific spot nearby.

* '''{{icon|Flukeweed|y}}s''' hold items in their roots; [[Winged Pikmin]] can pull them out to retrieve the items.

* '''{{icon|Lily pad|y}}s''' float on the surface of rivers, and allow leaders and Pikmin to ride them to new sections of the area.

* '''{{icon|Springpetal|y}}s''' are large flowers in caves that, when weighed with Pikmin, flings them upward. The more weight added to a flower, the higher its contents will be propelled.

* '''{{icon|Electric mushroom|y|l=Minor obstacles#Electric mushroom}}s''' are [[minor obstacles]] that do damage to leaders that touch them and emanate light. Because of their electric properties, [[Yellow Pikmin]] are immune to the their effects and can temporarily disable them.

* '''{{icon|Leaf platform|y|l=Minor obstacles#Leaf platform}}s''' are minor obstacles that blow straight forward when the air is windy, but slump down when it is clear, which happens frequently throughout the area they're in. They act as platforms that the player can walk across.

===Treasures as vegetation===
In ''Pikmin 2'', the leaders attribute a high value to some otherwise mundane plants and fungi. These forms of vegetation have been upgraded from mere decorative objects to important [[treasure]]s that the player must collect in order to complete the game. The following is a list of [[series]] whose treasures do not act as regular in-game vegetation:
*{{icon|Cupid's Grenade|v=TH}} [[Succulent Series]]
*{{icon|Spiny Alien Treat}} [[Nature's Candy Series]]
*{{icon|Science Project}} [[Xenoflora Series]]

===Enemies as vegetation===
Some [[Enemy|enemies]] in the Pikmin world take advantage of the unassuming characteristics of flora and fungi in order to disguise themselves as common vegetation. This can be either a defensive or offensive mechanism, in that the disguise could serve as a way to hide from predators, or as a means for an ambush. In addition, some enemies also seem to be part plant or part fungus, much like how the Pikmin are part plant themselves. A list of enemies with these plant and fungus connections is as follows:
*{{icon|Bulbmin|y}}: as they are but a parasitic form of Pikmin, they too are half-plant in nature.
*{{icon|Creeping Chrysanthemum|y}}: they belong to the same family of plants as the [[Margaret]], and disguise themselves as one in order to ambush prey.
*{{icon|Skitter Leaf|y}}: these enemies disguise themselves as mere leaves in order to prevent predation.
*{{icon|Desiccated Skitter Leaf|y}}: same as Skitter Leaf, except these will attack Pikmin.
*{{icon|Puffstool|y}}: these mushroom-like enemies release spores that can [[Mushroom Pikmin|take over Pikmin]].

===Misc.===
Interestingly, in {{npcp1}} and {{npcp2}}, Yellow Pikmin [[throw]]n from a plant will reach a higher distance. This does not apply to the GameCube versions.

==Vegetation as terrain==
The [[terrain]] in [[PNF-404]] consists of all sorts of surfaces. Given the [[Pikmin series|series]]' highlights of nature, a large part of the terrain Pikmin and leaders walk on is made up of flora or fungi. This can range from grass to tree trunks. These different terrains count simply for decoration, as they have no impact on the gameplay, other than providing different footstep sounds when leaders walk on top of them.

==Vegetation as background==
In order to give the areas some physical context, the out-of-bounds sections of the terrain are filled with plants and fungi. At times, it is even in much larger amounts than what can be found in the area's in-bound terrain; the reason for this is to stop the gameplay section of the area to be too cluttered. The outside of maps can consist of normal vegetation gameplay objects, dedicated models (e.g. trees, leaves, or unique flowers), or, in the case of the first two games, a wall with a texture of assorted vegetation, like mossy stones or trees.

==List of identified vegetation==
The following is a list of identified plants and fungi in the ''Pikmin'' games. This list refers to vegetation that is given an actual name or recognition inside the games, but also vegetation that has a mechanic in the game, and not just aesthetics. Only ''Pikmin 2'' actually names most of these, with the [[Piklopedia]]. You may also browse the categories available on Pikipedia, with the top one being '''[[:Category:Vegetation|Vegetation]]'''.

===''Pikmin Adventure''===
Plants and fungi in ''Pikmin Adventure'' are once again decorative and hardly interactive, but there are ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza statues for each of them. These are unlocked using ''Nintendo Land'' Coins.
{{see|Pikmin Adventure plants}}

==List of unidentified vegetation==
{{stub}}
There are forms of vegetation that are not given a name or any sort of importance inside the games themselves. However, their species can still be known by examining how they look and act, compared to plants and fungi in the real world. Some vegetation, however, cannot be identified at all, either because they do not resemble any real world plant, or because the resemblances are too weak to reach conclusive proof. The names given on this list are the real world names.

===Brown mushrooms===
Brown mushrooms appear in ''Pikmin 3'', and they grow on trees. This type of mushroom must not be confused with another brown mushroom that can only be found on the ground. Unlike the latter, it's not possible to interact with it.

===Red mushroom/leaf===
{{clean|Are they the same thing then or not?}}
There is an unknown red object that appears in all ''Pikmin'' games. It is either a red-leafed plant or a red mushroom. It is quite common in ''Pikmin'', appearing in every area. In ''Pikmin 2'', this same red-leafed plant only appears in the [[Valley of Repose]] near the landing area, covered in snow. In ''Pikmin 3'' the plant becomes a trio of mushrooms found only in the [[Tropical Wilds]]; they make a unique sound when disturbed. The red-leafed plant from ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' could be based on heuchera micrantha whereas the new mushroom's look could be based on ''{{w|mycena haematopus}}''. In ''Pikmin 2'', they belong to the area's geometry, but in ''Pikmin'', it is its own object, called <code>chidome</code>, which could be short for {{j|チドメグサ属|chidomegusa zoku}}. That is the name given to the {{w|Hydrocotyle}} genus (also known as "water pennyworts"), which are plants with long stems that live near water.

===Succulent===
The [[Formidable Oak]] in ''Pikmin 3'' features numerous different variants of cacti and succulent plants. These include ''{{w|haworthia attenuata}}'', stout {{w|Barrel cactus|barrel cacti}}, {{w|aeonium}} succulents, and large columnar cacti in the distance. The Formidable Oak also houses some more ambiguous but unique flora, including inflorescences of pink wildflowers, sprouts and tufts of dry grasses, and even some tiny lichens in the center of the arena area. Most of these succulents and some of the flower types are also used in the [[Thirsty Desert]] and [[Thirsty Desert Remix|its remix]] in [[Mission Mode]].

===Tree===
{{image}}
Nearly every area of every game (excluding [[The Forest Navel]]) contains trees, though most of the time they go unnoticed. Their main effect on gameplay is providing dynamic shadows that make the look of the environment more realistic and interesting. Trees can be seen in most of the backgrounds of the first two games' [[area]]s, but the textures depicting them are simple and looped, and often obscured by distance fog. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the entire skybox is rendered, and one can see full trees surrounding the area using the [[KopPad#Camera|KopPad's camera]].

===Vine===
An ivy-like vine appears in the [[Tropical Forest]] in ''Pikmin 3'', creeping along the edge of a raised platform and wall until twirling into a curled slide. Leaders and Pikmin can slide down this vine to get from the raised platform to the lower ground quickly, but not vice versa. Several vines are also used for scenery.
