Shuddering Fungus  

When I did these, the only place holders I found were the three small mushrooms who's locations are listed. I never saw the Shuddering spawn where I killed a lotus, and I killed many.

Confirming that the camp is down the hill from Lupot… I sat at p740, p660... it is the 3 lotus mobs.
They are on a 20 minute timer.
Many times after I cleared all 3 mobs, 5 minutes later a Shuddering Fungus spawned at the middle ph... but not always.
He also spawned on a small hill within striking distance at p670, p675 on occasion.

I went through about a dozen Shuddering Fungus without getting the epic 1.5 drop.

Then on one occasion, 2 Shuddering Fungus spawned at the same time... they both had my drop.

I was at this camp for a total of about 6 hours on and off over a few days.

Good luck!

Ok, let's correct some stuff to kill the confusion, since apparently I'm not the only one that was confused(two other shamans were doing the same thing that I was). First off, if you're trying to find the placeholders: they're directly next to Lupot. There are 3 of them right over the hill. They're also next to 2 deep cavern lotus. Kill all 5 of those mobs, the lotus will attack you anyways. Shuddering Fungus will eventually pop. I got 3 to pop in 4 rounds and 2 Bleak Fungus dropped. They are not, as other comments imply, the bent over small mushrooms in the camps of the mushrooms(in the surrounding area of Lupot) that look like they're dead. I spent 10-12 hours killing those and never got a single named to pop. I went 4 rounds with 3 pops and both drops killing the mushrooms next to Lupot, so it's definitely not the 'bent over' small mushrooms. Don't waste time killing them: you will think something is broken. Glad I found that out, since now I can let everyone know: the information on here will lead you to the wrong place.

Just had 2 of these named spawn right next to each other. You only need to kill the 3 mushrooms near Lupot. no need in killing all the mushrooms in the whole zone.

There are three single mushroom spawns next to Lupot Nukla. Clear all three spawns, because the Shuddering Fungus can spawn at any of the three locations. Common spawn place holder is "a small mushroom". I would guess the Shuddering Fungus appears in about 1 in 10 common spawns. The middle mushroom spawn time is just a bit longer than 11 minutes. The two side mushrooms spawn time is just a bit longer than 24 minutes. The Bleak Fungus drop is an uncommon drop from Shuddering Fungus and would guess it drops about 1 in 5. So expect to camp there for hours+.

has sony nerfed this mob im here and there is no insta spawns been here for about 2 hours and only seen him once ?

Just did this today on Bristlebane. Locs currently listed in the Monster description of this page are incorrect.

Confirmed loc of the primary spawn point is 732.00, 622.00. This mob on a 14 minute timer.

Two other placeholders do spawn on either side of the primary but were on a timer of roughly 30 mins for me.

Past these into your map for easy location.

Finished my 1.5 and I see a lot of people getting bugged at or near this point. Once you have looted 2x Bleak fungus, you MUST, no acceptions, do not forget to Hail Lupot Nukla. You still must talk to her before handing in the combine.

Solo'd this at 65 (dk blue con) no problem, even when he got stuck in the rocks so I couldn't target him and he killed my puppy :(

Five spawns of the shuddering through probably 8 total spawns (instant re-spawn) and got my two drops.

Nice thing is that he's not social with other mushrooms. When he ran two different times, I just let the DoTs wear him down and invis'd to go over to loot :)

Got first one of the two right away as I got there, still camping second one. Taken it down 3 times and no bleak so far. Spawns about every 3rd I'd say. Hits for almost 500, pretty fast even when slowed. Casts alot of Mort Drowsy and something that transforms you into a mushroom, rooting you and doing 200dd in the process. Didnt resist much, doesnt have too much hp.

Pity is that as I had to zone at one rate (chased one down the hill and another respawned on me while I was oom =P), this bunch of 70s arrived the zone. I dont know what's going on, but the camp aint respawning anymore, so I'd presume the enchanter might've charmed my mob or sumthing. =(

/sigh.

Edit: Ok I think it's Shrieker's Curse that it casts.

So I was just doing a little exploring of this zone after helping a high elf kill 80 small mushrooms for her cultural tradeskill task. I came upon these guys (2 of them, 1 small mushroom, and 2 lotus). Kill the lotuses and then killed one of the shuddering. Then I killed the small mushroom and another insta-popped where it had been. Killed it again, same thing. Then I decide to kill the other shuddering, then come back to the small one. When the small one died this time a shuddering spawned in its place. Killed that... another shuddering. At this point I was a little low on mana and decided "***** it, I'm out". Did get a bleak fungus not knowing what it was for, so I don't think they're THAT rare of a drop.

Max hit on me was 491. Average was under 200.
Resisted Mort Drowsy with 130ish DR all 9 times in the 1-2 minute fight. Seemed to be a proc.
Didn't have very many hitpoints. Probably not even twice what the small mushrooms have.
