Munch-fungus

Munch-fungus was a species of edible mushroom that grew in abundance on the planet Ryloth, the Outer Rim homeworld of the Twi'lek people. Over the years, the indigenous Twi'leks found a multitude of uses for the flavorful fungus, from simply eating it raw to cooking it in various soups and stews, where the fungus' presence helped to cultivate a rich and hearty broth. Further, munch-fungus could be baked into Munch-fungus loaf, a traditional type of Twi'lek bread.

An Artiodac chef by the name of Strono Tuggs discovered munch-fungi during a trip to Ryloth, where he came to appreciate the wild mushrooms for their flavor and versatility. Tuggs was especially intrigued by their use in munch-fungus loaves, and eventually published a recipe for the traditional Twi'lek bread in a cookbook he authored during his time living at the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu.
