In Genshin Impact, players can find Sea Ganoderma all across the Golden Apple Archipelago. Currently, they are only found in the archipelago near the seashores. Sea Ganodermas look like blue fungus with a little bit of blue glimmer. Hence, easy to spot.

Currently, only Kazuha uses Sea Ganoderma as his ascension material. In the Chinese live-stream event of version 1.5, Yae mentioned her gifting Ganyu two baskets of Sea Ganoderma.

Considering that it represents eternity, Sea Ganoderma is speculated to be one of the ascension materials of the Electro Archon. The Electro Archon, also known as Raiden Shogun or Baal, aims to attain eternity by getting her hands on all the visions.

As the Golden Apple Archipelago will be a limited time area, the Sea Ganodermas will be the same. This hints towards the release of the upcoming Electro nation Inazuma.

The official Teyvat Interactive Map also mentions Sea Ganoderma as a Local Speciality. Looking at all these, one can say them to be a local specialty of Inazuma. To know more, players have to wait for the 1.7 update in Genshin Impact.
