[[File:19.jpg|thumb|right|Some [[clover]]s, one of the many plants in [[PNF-404]].]]

[[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]]}}

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.

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]]'''.

===Creeping burhead===

These flowers appear in the [[Garden of Hope]] in ''Pikmin 3''.

{{w|Tagetes patula}}, also called French marigolds, appear in the Garden of Hope in ''Pikmin 3'', on the room with the [[Astringent Clump]].

In ''Pikmin 3'', it's possible to find flowers very similar to gerberas.

Pansies are flowers which appear in ''Pikmin 3''. Depending on the current day, their color can change.

===Plant with pink flowers===

In ''Pikmin 3'', there is an unknown plant that can be found in [[The Rustyard]]. It has little pink flowers with clearly visible brown roots, and leaves.

===Red mushroom/leaf===

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]] and the [[Formidable Oak]]; 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.

===Shasta daisy===

The {{w|Shasta daisy|shasta daisies}} only appear in ''Pikmin 3''. They only act as decoration, though a [[White Spectralid]] will normally land on a group near the landing site in the [[Garden of Hope]].

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]].
