'''Saturnines''' are blue, iridescent mushrooms encountered on [[Tallon IV]]. They prefer dark areas and can be found in caves and overgrown areas in [[Tallon Overworld]]. Saturnines tend to grow on rock walls or tree branches rather than on the dirt itself, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. | '''Saturnines''' are blue, iridescent mushrooms encountered on [[Tallon IV]].

Deliberate experimentation on Saturnines with Phazon was conducted by [[Space Pirate]]s while they searched for viable rations for their [[Project Helix|Phazon-enhanced]] units.<ref>{{cite|Infusion of Phazon into local fungi is proceeding.
