So, ive been playing DF for a few months, and have never seen a cavern layer without plant life. this cavern has none. its just all mud.
Heres a screenie:

Is this a bug or does it happen some times?

[JimmyBobJr]

It happens. In my current embark, theres no plants in the first layer for me, but the 2nd and third are fine.

I've seen it before. If you breach the other caverns, you can get fungus that way.

[Roboboy33]

i could use it as a gigantic farm

[Lexx]

If there are no bodies of water I think it causes that.

[Dradym]

maybe there was some bodies of water, but now theyre drained out?

possible.

my second cavern is flooded, but is not draining, despite having water to the edge.

Sometimes cavern indeed can have no vegetation: no shrubs, trees of even cave moss, yet these caves are completely covered with mud. This seems to be unrelated to presence of water bodies nearby.

Sure it's draining. It's draining in. :p

Any water tile that's on the edge and is at 7/7 without your interference is a water source and therefore infinite.

.....perfect.

I have seen this happen with the first cavern layer twice, once as sorcerers and once as wizards (Wizard Tower mod). Fungi grew in soil layers, though, and later worlds generated with the same raws had fungi of all shapes, sizes, and colors, so I guesses it was a WT thing.

Any mods in your game, or were you just dwarves?

I've seen it often vanilla.

See if there's an obelisk inside of the cavern detailing any sort of catastrophic plague that wiped out all life in there.

i've seen this also,in vanilla,sometimes with a body of water nearby or other completly dry,and sometime i can only find trees and shrubs all the fungus is dead.
