Namira’s Rot

A cave fungus named after the Daedric Prince of decay – Fortify Lockpicking and Regenerate Health.

Namira’s Rot is named after the Daedric Prince of decay and things that crawl in the dark, which tells you where to look: deep in caves. It’s worth nothing to merchants, but Fortify Lockpicking and Regenerate Health are handy, and Fear and Damage Magicka work in poisons.
