Some forms of vegetation in PNF-404 are actually helpful or obstructive to the [[leader]]s and their Pikmin, and serve as important gameplay mechanics – some must be interacted with to complete the game.

* '''{{icon|Pellet Posy}} [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]]''' have a single pellet on top of their stem. When the plant is taken down, it releases the pellet inside, which can be brought to an [[Onion]]. This provides a safe way of increase Pikmin population without having to interact with enemies or their corpses.

* '''{{icon|Burgeoning Spiderwort|y|v=spicy}}s''' contain berries that, when delivered to the [[Hocotate ship]] or [[S.S. Drake]], can be used to brew [[spray]]s. These plants can generate several berries throughout the day, making them a good origin of sprays; they do, however, need some upkeep in order to remain a healthy and reliable source.

* '''{{icon|Nectar weed|y}}''' is a type of grass that, when pulled out, has a chance of releasing a drop of [[nectar]]. Pikmin can be told to weed out these blades of grass in order to obtain the nectar within.

In ''Pikmin 2'', the leaders attribute a high value to some otherwise mundane plants and fungi. These forms of vegetation have been upgraded from mere decorative objects to important [[treasure]]s that the player must collect in order to complete the game. The following is a list of [[series]] whose treasures do not act as regular in-game vegetation:

===Enemies as vegetation===
===Enemies as vegetation===
Some [[Enemy|enemies]] in the Pikmin world take advantage of the unassuming characteristics of flora and fungi in order to disguise themselves as common vegetation. This can be either a defensive or offensive mechanism, in that the disguise could serve as a way to hide from predators, or as a means for an ambush. In addition, some enemies also seem to be part plant or part fungus, much like how the Pikmin are part plant themselves. A list of enemies with these plant and fungus connections is as follows:

*{{icon|Creeping Chrysanthemum|y}}: they belong to the same family of plants as the [[Margaret]], and disguise themselves as one in order to ambush prey. It is even stated by Olimar that they are actually plants, being the only enemies in the series with this trait.{{cite quote|{{notes:Creeping Chrysanthemum/olimar}}|[[Captain Olimar]]|[[Olimar's notes]] on the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]}}

===Blaxcap and Bulborel===
Blaxcaps and Bulborels ({{j|デメマダラタケ|Deme Madara Take|Spotted Bug-eye Mushroom}}) are mushrooms said to grow on the backs of [[Emperor Bulblax]]es and [[Sovereign Bulblax]] respectively. The name "Bulborel" seems to be a portmanteau of "Bulborb" and "{{w|morel}}".

Daffodil<ref name=lockon/> plants appear in ''Pikmin 3'', in the [[Distant Tundra]] and [[Twilight River]]. Due to the cool climates of both areas, they don't have visible flowers, so it's easy to confuse them for generic reeds. Their name was revealed in Japanese supplementary material, confirming their species as daffodil.
