Your crimson fungus won’t grow if it’s not on the corresponding crimson nylium block, as it requires a specific environment to thrive, and applying bone meal to it while on a block with no obstructions immediately above it provides a 40% chance for the fungus to grow into a giant fungus. To address this issue, ensure that your crimson fungus is placed on crimson nylium and that there are no obstructions above it, and then apply bone meal to stimulate growth.
