AI Overview
Compiled by AI from community sources — may be incomplete or inaccurate; verify before relying on it.
An invasive, fast-maturing lichen that grows in the cracks of rocks; in Star Citizen it is a hand-harvestable natural commodity collected from caves and rocky terrain and sold to traders for a profit.
What it is
The Amioshi Plague is described in-game as an invasive lichen (a symbiotic flora organism, not a true fungus) that colonises the cracks of rocks. Its core burrows out of sight to absorb as much moisture as it can find, while the part near the surface sprouts "hooded scales" that eject spores to spread the organism to neighbouring rocks. Despite the alarming name, it is harmless to players. It is a Size 1 miscellaneous/harvestable item, stackable, with a per-unit cargo volume of about 3,700 µSCU (cargo box dimensions roughly 0.16 x 0.19 x 0.2 m, mass ~0 kg) and "common" rarity.

Gameplay use
Amioshi Plague is a TRADE commodity. There is no known crafting recipe, medical effect, or consumable buff tied to it — it is gathered by hand and sold to commodity vendors/admin terminals for aUEC. It is classified as "Harmless" flora that can also appear as world loot and decoration. Players harvest it from cave/rock deposits, box it, and run it to the highest-paying buyer.
Value & where to sell
Prices are player-tracked and volatile across patches. Recent aggregated trade data (UEX, ~patch 4.8) shows a best buy price around 17,389 aUEC/SCU (e.g. Ashland in Pyro) and best sell prices in the ~24,000-27,000 aUEC/SCU range — for example ~27,000 aUEC at Admin / Seraphim Station and ~24,000 aUEC at ACCO, giving margins around 35%. Sell demand spans roughly 9+ locations including Deakins Research Outpost (~70 SCU capacity) and various research outposts. Because it is a small, dense, high-value harvestable, large hauls can net millions of aUEC. Treat all figures as approximate and patch-dependent; check UEX/SC Trade Tools live before selling.

Where to harvest
It is found inside cave systems and rocky deposits, associated with Arctic, Caves, Oceanic Plains and Savanna biomes. Aggregated location data lists roughly 16 deposits across two systems: - Pyro system: around 7 sites, including Stag's Rut, Sunset Mesa, Golden Riviera, Chawla's Beach, Last Landings, Ashland, and a Derelict Outpost (Pyro II/III/IV areas). - Stanton system: around 9 sites, including multiple Onyx Facilities on several moons, ArcCorp Security Post 087, HDSF-Adlai, Jumptown, Raven's Roost, and Vivere PAF-II. Community guides note cave spawn chances of roughly 40-60% with about a 1-hour respawn after harvesting.

Source
It is the organism itself — a self-spreading lichen — rather than a part of an animal. There is no source creature; the plant/lichen is collected directly from rock surfaces and cave walls.
Grades & variants
No quality grades or variants are documented for Amioshi Plague — it ships as a single common-tier harvestable with box sizes from 1 to 32 SCU. (Reference physical stats: signature ~1700, density ~1 g/cc.)
Effects
None documented. It is flagged "Harmless" and has no known medical, edible, poison, or buff effect — it exists purely as a tradeable harvestable.

Lore
The name comes from the lichen's relatively short maturation period — it spreads quickly enough to earn a "plague"-like reputation, even though it poses no real danger. The Galactapedia/wiki entry leans on this irony: "not nearly as ominous as its name suggests."
Trivia
- It debuted as part of the hand-harvestable flora set introduced in the alpha 3.7 harvestables update. - As a tiny, dense, high-value item it is a popular target for cave-running and "money score" runs (e.g. community videos showing multi-million aUEC Amioshi Plague hauls).
