Where do I even FIND jelly plants?

[2scoopsrice]

On the wiki it says you find them in caves, however I have never even seen one ever.

i've found a few scattered around random places. they don't do anything, and hardly give any food when you eat them.

You mean the jelly mushrooms? They live in very deep caves. There's an entrance to one in the south western edge of the safe shallows starting area where the safe shallows, kelp forest, and red grassy plateaus meet together. If you head south from the escape pod (towards sunrise) through the safe shallows you'll come to a point where the kelp forest from the east cuts into the safe shallows. On the other side of the very narrow safe shallows is a cliff which descends to the red grassy plateaus. Cut into the side is a cave with a hold that descends to 200+ meters into the ceiling of the (a?) jelly shroom cave.

edit: take the seamoth and bring a beacon to mark the way out.

No, the jelly plants. [url=subnautica.wikia.com/wiki/Jelly_Plant

Oh, sorry. I 've never seen those before.

Search a good entrance for the shelly shroom cave, go down and you should find those there, as your own link mentions.

The difficulty is finding an entrance to the jelly shroom cave:

There is an entry big enough for the seamoth, where bone sharks roam the red weeds, with three big holes in the ground. It's located more in direction of the Aurora heck towards the grand reef, but close to the edge of the safe shallows. You have to search the direct edge between the safe shallows and the red weeds and follow a nearby creepvine plateau. The entrance is about 100m deep.

In the newest updates you find biters at the cave bottom, so I advice you to have health kits equipped, the seamoth and seaglide with you. But with the new seamoth updates you also get the sonar to better find the entrance. So I generally advice you to search this cave with the seamoth.

I just found a "jelly plant" near a "shallows"-type minibiome righ next to the Aurora, port side, towards the aft. The description is "tool_tip." It won't scan, but you can pick it up.

jellyshroom caves located in the red grass biome are basicly holes in the ground leading to huge underground caves filled wiht glowing shrooms. Some shrooms have creepy crab snakes in them that scare the $#@% out of with a jumpscare while others have an important thing in them.

Yes, but OP was referring to an actual item called "Jelly Plant" which can be found near the cave system in the mini-shallows biome right up against the Aurora. The Jelly Plant looks like a round purplish ball covered in pink spots which glow in the dark. You can pick it up like quartz or mushrooms, and it won't scan. I'm fairly convinced it will be used for crafting something but I don't know what.

If you aim just right, there's this glorious reaper-free shallows-type zone right up against the Aurora between two chasms—with reapers hanging out on either side of it to the north and south; I went too far north and one spawned directly in front of me, but if you can successfully stay within the biome boundary (the point where the music changes) they won't spawn.

There are trenches, coral, and a fairly extensive series of caves with quartz and jelly plants, various types of fish (hole fish, hover fish, peepers, rabbit rays) and a substantial amount of scrap metal and acid mushrooms. Also boxes! Lots of boxes. (Many of which glitch in fascinating ways.) And of course, the Jelly Plant, which can be found in some of the trenches toward the south near the cave system. Just avoid the two super-deep chasms to the north and south, pressed against the Aurora's hull. They're hard to miss.

The chasm to the north is where you enter the ship to get to the engine room.

I'm going to start a new game, save one time in the pod, and then see if I can make it to that area alive before the aurora explodes. There's this little sandbar where you can stand and look at the ship, and I'd like to be standing there when the fireworks go off. ...Unless it's not timed but rather related to how often you exit and enter the life pod... in... which... case... um...
