To get to the canyon that this guy spawns at you need to enter a canyon at H-6 or H-7 by walking down a ramp type thing, just follow the tunnel in the canyon into another canyon which will be just above truffle then another tunnel into Truffle's canyon.

i camped him for almost 2hrs just because when i was in my early to mid lvl 10s i was jealous of the people walking around with this hat but i eventually gave up out of to much boredom and decided to help a friend with RSE gear in Ordelle's Caves
i have killed this thing 6 times now and the only thing i ever get is a freakin sleepshroom v.v; if it weren't for the fact that sleepshrooms go for about 20k a stack in jeuno i wouldn't even bother coming down here...

Went down and killed this guy twice today, now I'm 1/2. First time, killed him without subbing THF, spawned him after one round of killing place holders (about 5-10 minutes), only dropped 2 sleepshrooms. Came back later that evening and spawned him again after one round of killing placeholders, this time I was subbing THF and I got the drop. As a RDM59, this hat isn't very useful, but it looks damn cool with my AF gear, I'm gonna wear it while farming until I get level 60 so I can wear my AF hat (which is sitting in my inventory). Super easy camping, no competition at all, the hardest part about this NM was figuring out how to get down into the valley. Good luck!

went down there killed a funguar waited about 2 mins and it poped, i was like wow im lucky, but like always no drop >< 0/1 on this
Tumbling Truffle is PHed by the regular poison funguars in the area.
I advise you sub thief and do some minor farming down here, sleepshrooms and beehive chips drop regularly.
He takes:
roughly 1+1/2 hours - 5hours approx. to spawn. Only did 5 hours once out of the 17 times I've camped him.
Never wander out of the last little canyon aarea. Just run back and forth kil;ling the wasps and funguars.
Drop rate is high. 14/17 for me ^^
Good luck!
*EDIT* You can also steal Sleepshrooms from Funguars!

Went there as a LVL20 MNK/THF (on Cerberus), killed about 20 Funguars which took about an hour.
After that a high level PLD turned up, so because I never had any ranged attacks, I decided to leave. On my way out, I spot him so I used Hundred Fists and got the drop. 1/1.
For me, he spawned near the cave in the third crack (the one with the headstone).

This was so easy to camp! I was working on getting the Stone Monument thingy and my friend Crosis told me it poped there. I was like oh ****. So 15+ Poison Fungars and 8 sleepshrooms later it poped. I was really surprised too. I spanked it so bad with Banishga 2. Did 276 damage then hit it twice for 17 damage each. Got the hat and another sleepshroom. Damn do I hate those things now ><. 10 minutes after I got the drop people in Valk. Dunes were already asking to buy it. I didn't know how much it went for. I was told 2k but I looked in Jeuno. Its over 30k on Lev server. Kick ***. His naew name is *************** ^^

Yes, if you plan to camp this NM for the Fungus Hat, you need a lot of patience. First off, the spawn time is very long, and i believe it can reach up to 5+ hrs. <personal experience> Second, if you don't want to miss the claim incase someone runs along and wastes your waiting time, killing the place holders gets boring because their spawn time is also quite lenghty. Third, even though T.T. is "difficult" to get to, it is a common path due to the Stone Monument just up the hill from the spawn point. 0/2 currently, 1/2 on sleepshrooms as well... So, happy camping! =)

Umn... I'm just wondering... how the hell do i get down there? I've been walking around the damn canyon on choco, and on foot, and still no clue as to how the hell do i get down there... until i get a reply.. I'm gnna keep trying...>.> /sigh...
You've got two options:
1) Go down into Ordelle's Caves, head behind the waterfall and follow the path back out to La Theine.
-or-
2) There's a zig-zaggy ramp leading down into the other cracks located north of the biggest lake in La Theine.
Edit: Decided to be ( a little ) more specific- the ramp leading down should be located in or around the northern portion of H-7 in La Theine Plateau.

Okay, this guy is *****. :P
I've camped him for a day or so, his Window opens every 30MIN-2HOURS rough estimate. I'm 0/3 on this *****. This lame hat isn't worth an hour of camping. :(

I don't hear anything good on this guy as far as getting the drop. Fungus Hats are cool and all.. but I'm perfectly happy with my non-pointy Marine Hat. ^^

I needed some gil so I decided to farm sleepshrooms. I thought it would be nice to pick up a Fungus Hat while doing so. It is never that easy though is it.....Well, it was for me. This time at least. I claimed him after about 30 minutes of place holder clearing. He spawned in the circle on the map. I am 1/1. w00t!
Now give me your tots!!!!!

This may not seem like that great a NM, but if you camp it around 20-24 you can kill placeholders and make money from sleepshrooms and dark crystals and hopefully get a fungus hat as well, I have made 600k total off of this monster and his spawnholders, currently 5/12 on the hat, I believe tumbling truffle will 100% drop a sleepshroom :P but anyway just my 2 gil on tumbling truffle and good luck camping him ^^

is it possible, do you think, to solo this as a 24/12 war/thf? fungies are tricky, thought i'd ask

i killed this sucker twice, no drop. I then realized that the time i spent out there waiting for the NM could've been used fixing a sandwich or watching someone read a book. I left, shoulda subbed thf, it doesnt spawn enough.

Well I posted back in January, about this lovely little thing when i was 0/5. I decided last night that I really wanted my hat again, so i choco'd out there. Killed it twice and no drop, now at 0/7. I cannot believe this thing.
And yes, he can spawn any where in the canyon.
The Huge Wasps do not afeect spawn, but I wonder if they affect the drop? I'm clawing at thin air now.... ><

..... Wow..... i camped it for an hour...... Got drop........ 15k......... NOT WORTH THE TIME
if u have a job lvl much higher, go for sniper rings or some NM worht while. This is a complete waste of time unless U NEEED A FUNGUS HAT

I was farming some sheep skins and planning on to start leathercrafting as THF30/RNG15 and i saw this on widescan. I immediatly ran over to where it was and had trouble findin out how to get to it. >.<
So... to help anyone else who had no idea how to get there...
You must find the ramp in the southern part of the caynon in the H-7 area.
Theres a tunnel in the eastern part of that canyon which will take you to the canyon in the J-6/K-6 area.
Yet another tunnel in the eastern part of that canyon will take u to the canyon that Tumbling Truffle pops in.
Good luck and Happy Hunting.

heh, this guy is my worst enemy right now. I'm working on Blinding Potions for Alchemy so i decided to farm Sleepshrooms in the ravine so i wouldn't have to buy them, well, I decided to camp this guy on the side too. There was NO competition down there so i was having a jolly old time and killed truffle about 5 times. NO DROP. I'm so sad, cause even though the hat isn't worht much, its cool looking so I'd just like to wear it in my spare time, what shame. I'll be dedicating all my spare time to kill this punk-funguar from now on till i get my hat!
I decided to camp this thing today simply because I was bored outside of my mind and I figured a ghetto optical hat would look good on my Thf and Mnk when I got around to leveling them. I head to the spawn point on the map and only spent around 20 minutes skilling place holders when he popped in the circle on Alla's map. I handed his *** to him, but he got the last laugh by not dropping anything but a sleepshroom. I waited no more than another 30-40 minutes skilling place holders and this time he spawns again opposite of where Alla's circle is. I kill him with a few swings and once again don't get the drop. I spend maybe another hour camping and get ready to leave and logout when I found him sitting near the entrace to the canyon just like he was the second time. I lay into his face and this time he drops the Fungus Hat.
I found the entire thing to be slightly worth while because of all the shrooms I raked in that can be sold or go towards leveling my cooking.
