Jellyshroom

The Jellyshroom is a giant, highly luminescent flora species found in the Jellyshroom Cave. Some Jellyshrooms are home to the Crabsnake. Crabsnakes live inside the hollow trunks and will spring out to ambush the player. Crabsnake eggs can be found inside some Jellyshrooms.

Jellyshrooms can be harvested with a knife giving Jellyshroom Spores, which can then be planted in the Exterior Growbed or Alien Containment. Sometimes, minerals or a Crabsnake Egg can be found inside the trunk.

Like many real world fungi the Jellyshroom is saprotrophic, processing the decaying remains of the fish the Crabsnakes eat in order to grow.

Appearance
As the name suggests, the Jellyshroom strongly resembles a fungus with a jellyfish cap. Its stem is dark in colour and robust-looking, whilst its cap is transparent, and a bright bioluminescent purple colour.

A smaller variety of Jellyshroom can often be found growing around their base.

It is possible to swim inside some Jellyshrooms through the hole at the center of the cap. However, if a Crabsnake is inside the shroom, it will spring out and attack the player if they get close.
