| '''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.

| Several oversized Saturnines, some increased in amounts as large as 400%,<ref>{{cite|Size increase of 400% indicated in fungal unit.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> act as platforms in [[Phazon Mines]] in [[Metroid Quarantine A]], [[Fungal Hall A]] and [[Fungal Hall B|B]], and in the [[Fungal Hall Access]]. These Saturnine specimens have been drastically mutated by [[Phazon]] exposure. 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. This program has produced a cheap, viable ration for many of our Phazon-enhanced units on Tallon IV. A mass-production program has been authorized.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> Later, Phazon-infused Saturnines were used in the [[Elite Nutrient Mix]] fed to [[Elite Pirate]]s, replacing [[Deca-Triticale|deca-triticale]].<ref>{{cite|Phazon-infused fungal harvesting continues.

| Small, green insects sometimes hover around these fungi, possibly indicating that they are a natural food source for them.
