Mutated fern is a species of plant in Fallout 4.
Characteristics[]
Ferns with brown and green leaves, capable of blooming and producing purple flowers. These flowers heal radiation if consumed and can be processed into radiation chems such as Rad-X and RadAway.[1]
Locations[]
- At least 19 can be gathered at Forest Grove Marsh. Most of the mutated fern flowers are found in clumps of ferns on the roofs of the buildings.
- Five can be found at the Slog. Two outside the eastern entrance to the building, and three around the rusted cars by the bus.
- Two can be gathered on the roadside east of the General Atomics Galleria main entrance, directly behind the brick building.
- Three can be gathered on the path east of Recon bunker Theta, and two can be gathered on the western path.
- Found directly south of the Vault 81 entrance, just east of the Mass Pike Tunnel west, on the north side of the freeway.
- Several are south-west of the Parsons State Insane Asylum by the main gate, just over the low stone wall.
- A fair way directly east of Tenpines Bluff on the other side of the overpass.
- Three can be found on the northwest shore of Lake Quannapowitt, south of the water quality station.
- Two can be gathered to the northwest of Lynn Woods.

- Botany Class: Solomon claims the plant can be used to craft multiple chems, including Rad-X. Solomon will reward the player character with 100 to 200 caps once for bringing him a mutated fern flower. Sheila's holotape on the rooftop of the weapon store in Forest Grove Marsh also begins the quest.
Behind the scenes[]
Ferns are real world plants of the same name, which do not produce flowers.
