Data Bank Entry
Parasitic, fungus-like growth found attached to other flora. An enzyme is released by the organism which dissolves a hole in the skin of the host, from which it leaches nutrients directly.

Outer, tooth-lined jaw serves no identified purpose. May be used during a different stage of the organism's lifecycle?

Assessment: Exploitable fungal enzymes
