This is the best healing item in the game. It gives you a % of your life back, unlike other healing items with do flat numbers. This means just one or two of these will scale well into mid and late game, whereas a single medkit or monster tooth lacks the power to make a difference once you reach stage 3 or 4.

Also, it's not really rare to be able to stand still if you know a few tricks. Enemies don't spawn on small platforms, so if you kill any flyers and shooters you're safe until a new wave of enemies that can hit you spawns. That's plenty of time to heal with even a single fungus. Hell, with enough fungus, all you need is to stand still for 2 seconds to get that single tick of life regen and you're good to go.
