Zygomites, referred to as Mutated Zygomites by the Slayer masters, are monsters that appear as Fungi until provoked (Pick Fungi) that require level 57 Slayer to damage. They resemble giant mushrooms and are found in Zanaris near the Cosmic Altar (level 86) and the furnace (level 74). Their ancient variants are found on Fossil Island and in the Stalker Den. Players must use fungicide spray on Zygomites once they are under 8 hitpoints to kill them.

The Fungicide spray must be reloaded every ten kills. The reloads, Fungicide, can be bought from the Slayer master or obtained as a drop from Zygomites. The spray and its refills cannot be sold back to the Slayer master afterwards, so it is recommended to only buy what is needed.

Players who have been given a Mutated Zygomite Slayer task can choose to kill Ancient Zygomites as an alternative for the task. However, if Konar assigns the player to kill Mutated Zygomites in Zanaris, then the Ancient counterparts cannot be killed for the task as they are only found on Fossil Island. Likewise, if she assigns Zygomites on Fossil Island then the player will be required to kill Ancient Zygomites since there are no regular Zygomites on the island.

A player picking a fungi.

Strengths and weaknesses

Zygomites mostly use magic-based melee headbutts which can hit substantial amounts, but they occasionally use more powerful magic-based ranged attacks by shooting spores. Karil's or Dragonhide armour is strongly recommended while fighting them, as the high Magic defence will reduce the chance of them hitting you. If praying against their attacks, Protect from Melee is recommended, as their melee attacks are more accurate.
