6 / 10ShannonAI edited the 1998 edition of this book, but will admit it doesn't hold up to the other major CoC campaigns. Things are more scattered and less cohesive. I think the new adventures added in the 1998 edition are top notch.
6 / 10JDCorleyThe outstanding initial few scenarios degenerates into farce by the end.
4 / 10SkiorhtThe original Fungi from Yuggoth was a very mixed bag. Some of the sections were great, but the bad parts were awful and there are some very frustrating parts where the Keeper is advised to make sure that certain NPCs escape.

3 + 2Michael S. GentryDay of the Beast.
4 + 4David ConyersDay of the Beast. Originally published as The Fungi from Yuggoth, Day of the Beast is an expanded and revised edition of that campaign, incorporating all the important elements that I believe make a really good Cthulhu campaign.
