Acid Mushroom: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:14, 1 February 2016

Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Acid Mushroom is a fungus belonging to the Flora category. It is also a Raw Material.

The player can either pick it up by hand or use the knife in order to harvest Acid Mushroom Spores from it. The Acid Mushroom can also be placed in a Farming Tray.

Appearance

The Acid Mushroom resembles real life mushrooms, having a very thick cap that appears to constantly pulsate.

There are two types of Acid Mushrooms: the smaller one with a purple hue, and the larger one featuring a bright magenta cap with rest of it fading to a dull violet color.

Behavior

The Acid Mushroom stays completely immobile on the seabed or other firm structures as a base, forming many clusters.

It displays two kinds of defensive mechanisms: acidic secretion capable of harming the player upon being knifed, or size shrink if still being approached.

Uses In Crafting

Data Bank Entry

A common, spore-bearing fungi species, with developed defense mechanisms. The flesh contains a highly acidic compound which leaches into the water if the outer skin is penetrated. Fluctuations in the local water pressure may also cause it to shrink.

It is not clear which predator species necessitated such extreme counter-measures, but the acid mushroom's numbers suggest it has successfully deterred most of them.

Assessment: Inedible, but exploitable in battery fabrication if picked carefully
