Dying Light 2: Where to Find Cordyceps

Much like with Chamomile, Honey, Poppies, and Resin, Cordyceps can typically be found on Rooftop Groves across Villedor.  They are small, yellowish-orange fungal growths that appear on bare tree stumps, and fortunately, they appear in clusters of usually 2 or 3.  It’s good to return to locations where you find these Cordyceps, as they’ll respawn over time thanks to them being a static spawn loot item.

While Cordyceps is listed as an uncommon resource, due to their lower number of applications, it’s still rather easy to keep a good stockpile of this item for crafting Boosters.  Unlike Poppies, which you can find in a specific greenhouse to collect 4 at a time, many groves will have several spawns of Cordyceps so you’ll not need to go to too much trouble.

In summary:

• Rooftop Groves with flat tree stumps will have several clusters of Cordyceps
• Cordyceps can be used to craft Boosters if you have the blueprints
• Muscle Booster: 2 Cordyceps, 2 Poppy
• Swimming Booster: 2 Cordyceps, 2 Lavender

Keep this information handy on your travels.  Rooftop Groves are always solid additions to your routine, especially if you’re booting up to start a session, as any known spawn locations will have several, so be sure to note where you find them.
