[[File:mud_sprite_preview.png|right]]'''Mud''' is a [[contaminant]] produced when an area is covered with [[water]], and colors tiles brown. It is essentially just running wet dirt. Mud also occurs naturally in deep [[cavern|caverns]]. Muddied stone can be used for [[farming]], [[Pasture|grazing]], [[Herbalist|plant gathering]], and [[Tree#Growing_trees|growing subterranean trees]]. "A pile of mud" in water sources can result in "[[Water#Water_laced_with_mud|water laced with mud]]" which can lead to problems if your dwarves use it. | [[File:mud_sprite_preview.png|right]]'''Mud''' is a [[contaminant]] produced when an area is covered with [[water]], and colors tiles brown.

The plants that can be [[farming|farmed]] on mud are the same as those that would grow on soil in the same place. Biome-appropriate grass (useful for [[Pasture|grazing]]) and plants (and, if underground, trees) will also spontaneously grow on muddy stone just like any other soil tile. [[Tile_attributes|Above-ground]] plants can't grow or be farmed on underground tiles, and vice versa, though tiles can be made permanently "above-ground" by exposing them to light. And perhaps unfortunately, muddying stone won't allow farming of different above-ground crops from other biomes. Note that underground plants won't spontaneously grow until a [[cavern]] has been breached, though farming from seeds is still possible. Note also that saplings need more than 1 z-level to mature into adult, wood-bearing trees (see [[tree farming]] for more). | The plants that can be [[farming|farmed]] on mud are the same as those that would grow on soil in the same place.
