Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora Coral Trees are large tree-shaped corals found abundantly in the Mushroom Forest.

The largest Coral Tree sometimes have chunks of Sandstone at the top.

The player can obtain Fungal Samples from its mushroom caps.

Appearance

The Coral Tree is a huge coral structure with branches coming off of its trunk, each adorning mushroom caps resembling large real life table corals. The tree's trunk features many small life forms growing on it such as Tree Leeches and Grue Clusters.

Giant Coral Tree

The Mushroom Forest to the Northwest is dominated by a single Giant Coral Tree. Its roots spread throughout the entire forest of the area.

This Giant Coral Tree is unique in various ways. Not only can dozens of Shale Outcrops be found on its stem, top, branches, and roots, but it is also the only explorable Coral Tree. Apart from a small cave at its base, there is also a larger Cavern that goes all the way from the top to the base of the tree, with two entrances located at the top and the base. In this cave, more Shale Outcrops and plants native to the Mushroom Forest can be found, with Grue Clusters and Tree Leech lighting the way.

Data Bank Entry

Analysis of these large organic structures reveals a microcosm of co-operating, co-habiting and competing lifeforms.

The main trunk is a species of coral, some colonies up to 50,000 years old. The caps which line it share more in common with earth fungi. Other organisms grow on the structure wherever there is space and light.

Surrounding waters are dense with herbivorous lifeforms in the 1mm - 10mm range, to the extent that larger herbivores appear to have mostly abandoned the area.

Assessment: Exploitable
