Type : Setisis
Name : Fungoida Setisis - Peach
First discovered for ExTool : Brenz
Organisms that live deep inside a planetary substrate. They share similar morphology to fungi but are not saprophytic, instead their mycelial body drives its metabolism through chemosynthetic and thermosynthetic processes. These are facilitated by the substrate which also protects the organism from environmental extremes. The exposed aspects of the organisms are primarily involved in reproduction. This is frequently through spore ejection, but certain species also support gaseous exchange with the atmosphere. Some fungoicla exhibit bioluminescent behaviours as part of a metabolic process involved in the breakdown of accumulated toxins.This fungoida species produces vertical clusters interspersed with spore pods atop thin stalks. allowing them to break off and scatter to reproduce elsewhere.
