Sponges are a vegetable food item found in the mod Creeps in the Deeps.

There are three types of Sponges; Yellow, Green, and Red. They can be used as vegetables/filler in Crock Pot recipes, burned as Fuel, or used as counter measure for Wetness. Each sponge has same effects on Health, Hunger, and Sanity.

When harvested, sponges have a very similar loot which consists of 1-2 Spongy Tissue and 1 Bubble.

Each Sponge will re-grow after 7 days. They can also be dug up at any time using a shovel to obtain x2 Spongy Tissue, but the sponge spawn will be destroyed. Sponges do not grow during winter because of the absence of sun.

Spongy Tissue
The Spongy Tissue loot is really important as it used in some necessary underwater recipes such as the rare Spongy Vest.

Spongy Tissue cannot be cooked over a  Campfire ,  Fire Pit  or  Dwarf Star  but they can only be eaten raw.

Reign of Giants
In Reign of Giants, the spongy tissue plays a main role in controlling the player's wetness when underwater. In fact, each spongy tissue can be used a single time to decrease the wetness by a factor of -10.
