Vaporator mushroom

Shmi Skywalker's dropped vaporator mushrooms

"I know that the mushrooms are small and ugly, and they taste terrible, but sometimes they're all we have to eat out here..."

―A Tatooinian resident

A vaporator mushroom, also known as a Tatooine mushroom, was a form of edible fungus. This particular type of mushroom frequently grew in the damp area around the bases of moisture vaporators on the planet of Tatooine.

Shmi Skywalker Lars was gathering these mushrooms when she was abducted by Tusken Raiders.

Sometimes, farmers would hire hunters to stop creatures from eating their mushrooms.
