[[Area]]s in the {{ps}} are covered in all sorts of '''vegetation''' in addition to their [[Enemy|animal wildlife]]. This includes an assortment of '''plants''' and '''fungi'''. Most vegetation exists as background scenery to add visual interest and to create a sense of the biome the area is in, but some vegetation has gameplay functions too. Some particular plants and fungi are given names in {{p2}}{{'s}} [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], though because the explorers are not specialists in plant and fungus lifeforms familiar to humans, they mistakenly categorize things like [[Glowstem|LED lights]] as fungi. 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]]}}

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, such as being an [[obstacle]].

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. {{p3d}}'s Piklopedia does not contain entries for plants.

* '''{{icon|Pellet Posy|v=P4}} [[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=P4}}s''' contain berries that, when delivered to the [[Ship (disambiguation)|ship]] 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|Candypop Bud|y|v=P4}}s''' are plants that can take in Pikmin and convert them to a different type.

* '''{{icon|Electric glowcap|y|l=Minor obstacles#Electric glowcap}}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.

In ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4'', 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|Creeping Chrysanthemum|y|v=P4}}: they belong to the same family of plants as the [[Margaret]], and disguise themselves as one in order to ambush prey. It is even stated by Olimar that they are actually plants, being the only enemies in the series with this trait.{{cite quote|{{notes:Creeping Chrysanthemum/olimar}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|[[Olimar's notes]] on the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]}}

*{{icon|Skitter Leaf|y|v=P4}}: these enemies disguise themselves as mere leaves in order to prevent predation.

*{{icon|Desiccated Skitter Leaf|y|v=P4}}: same as Skitter Leaves, except these attack Pikmin.

*{{icon|Puffstool|y|v=P4}}: these mushroom-like enemies release spores that can [[Mushroom Pikmin|take over Pikmin]].

*{{icon|Toxstool|y|v=P4}}: these enemies are very similar in design to the Puffstool, but can poison Pikmin instead of infect them.

===Barrenwort===

Patches of Barrenwort<ref name=lockon/> (''{{w|Epimedium grandiflorum}}'') appear in ''Pikmin 3'', acting as [[hiding]] spots in the [[Distant Tundra]].

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

===Blaxcap and Bulborel===

Blaxcaps and Bulborels ({{j|デメマダラタケ|Deme Madara Take|Spotted Bug-eye Mushroom}}) are mushrooms said to grow on the backs of [[Emperor Bulblax]]es and [[Sovereign Bulblax]] respectively. The name "Bulborel" seems to be a portmanteau of "Bulborb" and "{{w|morel}}".

''Hedera helix'', or common ivy, is a rampant and clinging plant often found on walls. It is possible to see this kind of plant in ''Pikmin 3''.

Brick wall.jpg|Some ''Hedera helix'' can be seen on a wall.

There is a red flower in ''Pikmin 3'' which resembles ''{{w|Papaver rhoeas}}'', also known as the common poppy, a common ornamental plant.

===Daffodil===

Daffodil<ref name=lockon/> plants appear in ''Pikmin 3'', in the [[Distant Tundra]] and [[Twilight River]]. Due to the cool climates of both areas, they don't have visible flowers, so it's easy to confuse them for generic reeds. Their name was revealed in Japanese supplementary material, confirming their species as daffodil.

{{w|Forget-me-not}}s are small flowering plants belonging to the genus ''Myosotis''; they appear in ''Pikmin 3'' in the [[Beastly Caverns]] stage of [[Mission Mode]] and the [[Shaded Terrace]] stage of [[Bingo Battle]]. They are popular garden flowers, only acting as decoration to the garden themes of these two areas.

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

In ''Pikmin 3'', it's possible to find flowers very similar to gerberas, however they may share a closer resemblance to Transvaal Daisies.

''Epipremnum aureum'', also known as the golden pothos is a tropical plant characterized by the golden streaks on its leaves. This temperate plant appears in ''Pikmin 3''.

Plants belonging to the genus ''Ilex'', commonly known as {{w|holly}} can be seen in the [[Distant Tundra]] in ''Pikmin 3'' .

Pansies<ref name=lockon/> are flowering plants bred through hybridization by humans of multiple plants in the genus ''Viola''. These plants appear in ''Pikmin 3''. Depending on the current day, the color of their flowers can change.

''Persicaria capitata'', commonly known as the pink knotweed, is a low-growing flowering plant with pink club-like flowers and a white arrow pattern on its leaves. In ''Pikmin 3'', it can be found in [[The Rustyard]].

===Red-leafed plant===

It is a red-leafed plant that appears in the first two ''Pikmin'' games. It is quite common in ''Pikmin'', appearing in every area. In ''Pikmin 2'', this same plant only appears in the [[Valley of Repose]] near the landing area, covered in snow. 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.

In {{p1}}, there's a dichotomous strap-shaped aquatic plant that can be found in [[The Distant Spring]], and more precisely in the water. It looks like a hemirosette thallus of ''{{w|Riccia fluitans}}''. It is also possible that it's an aquatic plant called "ambulia" or "{{w|Limnophila sessiliflora|asian marshweed}}".

Rosy Parachutes{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_3#Unused_Lock-on_text|Pikmin_3|The Cutting Room Floor|rname=lockon}} (''Marasmius pulcherripes'') are red mushrooms found in the [[Tropical Wilds]] and the [[Formidable Oak]] in ''Pikmin 3''. When disturbed by a leader or a Pikmin, they make a unique low-pitched echoing noise. Their Japanese name is {{j|ハナオチバタケ|hanaochibatake}}.

===Sleeping Beauty===

{{w|Oxalis_corniculata|Sleeping Beauty}} only appears in ''Pikmin 3''. It only acts as decoration, though one patch near the landing site in the [[Garden of Hope]] hides an [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]. It can also be found growing on the Quaggled Mireclops.

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]].
