Tree Mushroom

Coral Trees are large tree-shaped corals very commonly found in the Mushroom Forest.

These trees make the Mushroom Forest biome very difficult to travel through using the Cyclops. However, should a large, hostile creature ever be added into the game, they would make great cover.

The largest tree structures sometimes have chunks of sandstone at their top. Also, lithium crystals can be found growing on their stem.

Appearance
The Coral Tree is a large tree-like coral with branches coming off of it housing large mushroom caps. The trunk seems to house its own ecosystem, with life forms such as Barnacle Suckers and Blue Clusters growing on it.

Giant Coral Tree
The Mushroom Forest to the northwest is dominated by a single Giant Coral Tree. Its roots spread throughout the entire forest that it is in.

This Giant Coral Tree is unique in various ways. Not only can dozens of Shale Chunks be found on its stem, top, branches, and roots, but it is also the only Coral Tree that is accessible by the player. Apart from a small cave at its base, there is also a larger cavern that goes all the way from the top to the base of the tree, with two entrances located at the top and the base. In this cave, more Shale Chunks and plants native to the Mushroom Forest can be found, with Blue Clusters and Barnacle Suckers lighting the way.

Due to the depth of the cave and its inaccessibility by Seamoth, it is strongly recommended to carry at least two tanks so as to assure that the player doesn't drown.
