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.
