Burgeoning Spiderwort mold

Because this subject has no official name, the name "Burgeoning Spiderwort mold" is conjectural.

The mold-like structure occasionally found covering up Burgeoning Spiderwort plants.

You may have seen a bulbous structure lurking where berry-bearing Burgeoning Spiderwort plants had once grown. This is the Burgeoning Spiderwort mold. While its actual name is unknown, this fungus appears occasionally when you have not harvested the Spiderwort's berries in a few days. It is destructable, so if you spot it, take a medium-large group of Pikmin to the area and have them attack it. Soon enough, the mold and its thread-like hyphae will slowly disappear, allowing the Burgeoning Spiderwort to grow once again. This is not harmful to your Pikmin, only to the plant. Burgeoning Spiderworts they grow on ledges or near water are protected from the mold, as it will not be able to reach them.

Locations of the mold

Valley of Repose

There are none in the Valley of Repose, due to the harsh climate and lack of fertile soil for the growth of the Burgeoning Spiderwort.

Awakening Wood

There is a large mold near the landing site, where two Spiderworts grow. It seals away both of the plants, but when eliminated, they will grow back.

Perplexing Pool

There are two of them across from the landing site (near the location of the Gherkin Gate). There is a pesky Swooping Snitchbug here as well as a Fiery Blowhog, so you may want to defeat them first.

Wistful Wild

There are three patches of mold in a large clearing near the drainable lake which coincides with The Final Trial landing area in Pikmin 1. Each one covers its own berry plant, so it may take a while to get rid of them all.
