Living World Of Terra

Commonly Known As: Almost Every Everfree Tree
Plant: Mushroom, Tree

This is a most peculiar specimen. It is found behind the rim of actual trees that mark the Everfree forest. The tree-lookalike has a shell of bark and green leaves on branches that undergo photosynthesis all seasons round. However, if you were to cut into the Fungus Bratus trunk you would find a fibrous material that looks and feels like stipe. Upon further inspection, I have determined that the plant is, in fact, part tree - part mushroom.

The biological purpose of Fungus Bratus is obvious, consume minerals and water before spreading further. It would seem the ring of oak trees that form the edge of the forest are stopping the Fungus Bratus roots that stretch almost under the entire forest. The fungus plant may have blue bioluminescent polypores on the trunk (things that look like mushroom caps) and jelly fungi (white jelly-looking things) occasionally popping up between its visible roots. I have not found much alchemical use for the inside of the tree other than it is incredibly delicious with a cockatrice chest. However: it appears the fungi part is something that any animal can eat, including pure carnivores. It produces seeds which are located from spots where polypores grow. Luckily, the seeds seem to be quickly digestible so no animals spread it beyond the forest. The leaves appear to be your every other leaves, but produce moisture in the air, changing the climate of the area.

The bark is flame resistant. The bark is heat and lightning resistant. It is also water proof. However, it is not pressure proof. If you have the tools you will be able to get the bark from the tree upon which it looses all its properties after some time and becomes a pile of neat soggy firewood. Some animals have been observed scratching at the bark or gnawing at it before taking a bite out of the inside. The bark eventually healed over together with the inside.
The plant is an uncontrollably spreading source of food.

Authors Note: None of the trees are hallucinogenic. Absolutely useless.
