Earthworms — Detailed Guide
Worms from the mud
Earthworms are a food and bait item that our records list for ARK: Survival Ascended; the ARK Wiki connects them to Aquatica. The game puts it this way: "Small earth dwellers that can be found in mud piles. Can be eaten and used for fishing." The wiki places those mud piles on Aquatica's beaches.
Digging them up
Mud piles can be harvested with bare hands, a 
Whip or a 
Mining Drill. A 
Tiktaalik can collect worms too, with its primary attack.
Bait, taming and recipes
- Fishing: they work as bait on a
Fishing Rod. - Taming: the
Mudpuppy can be tamed passively with them. - Recipes: the wiki names
Worm Gum, 
Kibble Mash and 
Gilly Feast as recipes that use them. - Eating: a survivor who eats one gains 1.5 Food, and Health stays unchanged.
Weight and spoiling
A worm weighs 0.1 and a stack holds 100, for a full-stack weight of 10. The wiki gives a spoil time of 600 seconds and lists 120 seconds for the item to decompose.
