Mutated zygomites, also called Zygomites, are monsters that require level 57 Slayer to kill. They resemble giant mushrooms, and are only found in Zanaris, near the Cosmic altar (Zygomites level 86), or near the furnace (level 74). To kill one, you will first need to Pick Fungi, whereupon it will turn into a Zygomite, and then reduce it to 1 or 2 hitpoints, where you can then use fungicide spray on it, which is available from any slayer master. The fungicide spray must be reloaded every ten kills, and the reloads can be bought from the slayer master at the same time. You cannot sell the spray or reloads back to the slayer master afterwards, so only buy what you need.

[edit] Strengths and weaknesses
Players must use fungicide on the zygomites when they reach 1 or 2 hitpoints in order to kill it. Zygomites use magic-based attacks and hit considerably hard for their combat level, with a max of 14, though they rarely hit over 8. Wearing dragonhide armour while fighting them seems to negate the damage somewhat.
Zygomites mostly use magic-based melee attacks which consist of a headbutt, but they occasionally make magic-based ranged attacks by shooting spores. There is no warning ahead of time as to which type of attack a zygomite will make. Because of this, a player cannot avoid damage by just using one protection Prayer. Protect from Melee will negate the magic-based melee attacks; Protect from Missiles will negate the magic-based ranged attacks. Protect from Magic is ineffective.

[edit] Trivia
- The name Zygomite is probably based on the class of fungus Zygomycota, though these fungi do not produce mushrooms.
- If you try and attack something else while you are still in combat, it will read "There's a rather large mushroom monster trying to attack you at the moment. Maybe you should deal with it first."
- If a frog or other Zanaris event happens during battle, the Zygomite will keep attacking you with a "thump" sound (melee attack) without any hitsplats, but will still be doing damage while you can't attack it until the event leaves.
