Yuggoth was a planet known for housing eldritch fungi. One universe's version of iconic drug fiend Hunter S. Thompson once got his hands on a small plastic bag's worth of Yuggoth mushrooms; rather than the pleasurable high he'd hoped for, ingesting them in a Las Vegas restroom caused him to lose most of his motor functions, and to only be able to speak in an unidentified eldritch tongue. However, he was found by Jenny Everywhere, who figured out what had happened and helped drag him back to a more comfortable place to sober up — although she preemptively demanded that he tell her exactly how he acquired the mushrooms once he was himself again.

Behind the scenes
In the Lovecraftian mythos, Yuggoth is the home planet of the Mi-go, ambulatory, sentient fungoid creatures, as introduced in 1931's The Whisperer in Darknes. It is in the public domain.
