Deep Shroom

The Deep Shroom is a type of life form belonging to the flora category. It can be used as a raw material in the manufacturing of Hydrochloric Acid.

The player can either pick it up by hand or by using the knife to harvest Deep Shroom Spores. Be careful however, because harvesting in this manner can cause damage to the player, surrounding base structures, and nearby flora.

The Deep Shroom, and its spores, can be planted in an Exterior Growbed or in an Alien Containment.

Appearance
The Deep Shroom looks exactly the same as the Acid Mushroom as they share the same model, save for the difference in colouration.

Instead of the usual pink cap and stem, the Deep Shroom bears a pale violet white cap, and a dark grey stem.

Behavior
Identical to the Acid Mushroom.

Trivia

 * The Deep Shroom is a subspecies of the Acid Mushroom found in shallower biomes. Its difference in colouration is thus a evolutionary mechanic, which can also be found in many real-life animal and plant species - a direct result of the loss of pigmentation due to restrictions in available nutrients.
 * Certain Trello notes refer to the Deep Shroom as the Ghost Mushroom.
