Amethyst Mosshroom

Split off from the wright mosshroom, the Amethyst Mosshroom made its way into Seal, where its niche was more or less unfilled. To avoid being eaten by the riversaycer, which was evolving at the same time, it developed a purple coloration to avoid detection among the shadows of violetmellow. It fills the same niche as before. Like its ancestor, it resembles a faceted gemstone, it grows in large groups encrusting dead organisms, it lives a short life but produces clouds of glittery spores, and appears to have a “fiery” core—its reddish innards showing through its shell—when held to light.
