AI Overview
Compiled by AI from community sources — may be incomplete or inaccurate; verify before relying on it.
A fast-growing harvestable fungus that fruits in the maintenance tunnels of the Delamar asteroid and the Levski settlement in the Nyx system, whose dried mycelium fibers make it a useful local manufacturing material, introduced alongside Molina Mold as part of the Alpha 4.6 "Clearing the Air" event.
What it is
Miner's Horn is a fungus (the harvestable is the mushroom's fruiting body), not a mineral or animal part. Lore describes it as a quick-growing fungus first discovered in the sewer/utility lines of the QV Mining Station built into the Delamar asteroid in the Nyx system. Its strong mycelium fibers can be dried and reused, which made it a handy manufacturing component for the people of Levski. In-game it is a small, hand-collected pickup object grouped with the game's other botanical/fungal harvestables (alongside sister fungi like Molina Mold and Bluemoon Fungus) rather than a hand-mineable rock. Note on the file name: this entry's asset/file code is `armillaria_lev` — "armillaria" is a real-world genus of honey/mushroom fungi famous for its extensive mycelial networks, and "lev" points to Levski, matching the lore that this fungus is harvested around Levski/Delamar.
Gameplay use
Miner's Horn is a harvestable collectible tied to resource-gathering / harvesting gameplay rather than a medical consumable. In lore it functions as a crafting/manufacturing material: its dried mycelium fibers are worked into a variety of uses by Levski's settlers. It debuted with the Alpha 4.6 "Clearing the Air" event, in which the People's Alliance (with the UEE relief group Alliance Aid) work to deal with the hazardous Molina Mold outbreak in Levski's air filters; players run hauling, courier, resource-gathering and related missions, and harvesting fungi like Molina Mold and Miner's Horn from Levski's ventilation/utility areas is part of that resource-gathering loop. (Unlike Molina Mold, which is a fatal-if-inhaled hazard, Miner's Horn is described as a benign, useful material.)

Value & where to sell
Pricing is sparse and volatile. Item-database listings (UEX) show no established in-game buy/sell terminals for Miner's Horn ("no locations found, possibly not traded in-game yet"), indicating it is not a standard commodity-terminal trade good. The only recorded value point is a single player-marketplace listing (a Want-To-Buy) at roughly 2,000 aUEC per unit. Treat that as an isolated player-set price, not an official vendor rate, and expect it to change.

Where to harvest
Miner's Horn fruits around the Delamar asteroid and the Levski settlement, in the Nyx system — specifically in the maintenance/ventilation and sewer/utility tunnels of the QV Mining Station that Levski is built into. It is hand-collected in these interior spaces (the same kind of ventilation/tunnel locations where Molina Mold is harvested during the Clearing the Air event).

Source
It is flora/fungus, not an animal part — there is no source creature. The harvestable is the fruiting body (mushroom) of the Miner's Horn fungus, which grows from a mycelium network in the moist tunnels of Delamar/Levski.

Grades & variants
No quality grades or named variants are documented for Miner's Horn in current item databases. As a harvestable misc item it behaves like its sibling fungi (e.g. Molina Mold is recorded at Size 3, ~1 cSCU volume), so Miner's Horn is likewise a small single-unit pickup rather than a graded item.
Effects
No medical/consumable effects (healing, buff, or poison) are documented for Miner's Horn — it is presented as a benign manufacturing material. This contrasts with its event sibling Molina Mold, whose spores are described as potentially fatal to humans when inhaled in high concentrations.
Lore / discovery
Miner's Horn was first discovered in the sewer lines of the QV Mining Station built into the Delamar asteroid in the Nyx system. Delamar is an inhabited asteroid in the Glaciem ring of Nyx; in 2655 a group of political dissenters against the UEE took over an abandoned mining facility there and formed the independent People's Alliance, naming their settlement Levski after the 19th-century Earth revolutionary Vasil Levski. The fungus's strong, dryable mycelium fibers turned a tunnel pest into a practical manufacturing resource for the settlers.

Trivia
- It is easy to confuse with Molina Mold; both are Levski/Delamar fungi added in Alpha 4.6, but Miner's Horn is the useful, harmless one and Molina Mold is the dangerous infectious one (community comparison videos exist). - The asset code `armillaria_lev` nods to the real fungal genus *Armillaria*, known for vast underground mycelial networks — fitting for a fungus prized for its mycelium fibers.
