Saturnines are blue, iridescent mushrooms encountered on Tallon IV. They prefer dark areas and can be found in caves in Tallon Overworld.
Several oversized Saturnines, some increased in amounts as large as 400%,[1] act as platforms in Phazon Mines in Fungal Hall A and B, as well as 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 Pirates while they searched for viable rations for their Phazon-enhanced units.[2] Later, Phazon-infused Saturnines were used in the nutrient mix fed to Elite Pirates.[3]
