{{Quote|Photosynthetic colony organisms found exclusively on ice worlds, where they have embraced the surrounding frozen material as a form of protection. As the fonticulus develop they melt ice from around them, absorbing the liquid through tiny cellular pores and passing it to the colony's reproductive edge. Here the liquid is excreted and immediately refreezes, creating hard translucent exoskeletons that provide protection for the organisms. Frond structures create a wide flat space that expose internal photosynthetic cells to as much light as possible. Reproduction appears to occur by colony division, most likely when a shard of the structure collapses under it's own weight and the smaller shard creates a new colony.|In-Game Description}}

'''Fonticulua''' are a species of alien organism found on [[planets]] and [[moons]] with thin atmospheres across the galaxy. They can be sampled with the [[Genetic Sampler]] and scanned with the [[Short Range Composition Scanner]]. They have a clonal colony range of 500m.

== Description ==
Fonticulua (from Latin ''fonticulus'' "fountain", referring to their pores) look like giant fungi. They appear on flat ground: next to craters and in rocky terrain.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/123enkb/exobiology_a_2023_updated_guide/</ref>

== Fonticulua Campestris ==
[[File:Fonticular campestris Mauve.jpg|thumb|CMDR Tiberius Vaako, Fonticular campestris, Flyooe Eohn YX-D b18-0, B1]]
 
=== Description ===
''These fonticulua thrive in argon atmospheres, and can reach four metres in height. They feature huge leaf-like structures to capture sunlight for conversion to energy.''
 
=== Conditions of occurrence ===
 
* Planets with thin Argon atmosphere
* Icy or Rocky Ice planets
* Maximum gravity: 0.27
 
== Fonticulua digitos ==
[[File:Fonticulua Digitos Sage.jpg|thumb|CMDR Fly34, Fonticulua Digitos, Eos Chruia JY-Y d1-106, DEF 2]]
 
=== Description ===
''A fonticulua species that thrives in methane—based atmospheres, sprouting a cluster of cylindrical tubes directly from the ice.''
 
=== Conditions of occurrence ===
 
* Planets with thin Methane or Methane rich atmosphere
* Icy or Rocky Ice planets
* Maximum gravity: 0.27
 
== Fonticulua Fluctus ==
[[File:Fonticulua Fluctus Emerald.jpg|thumb|''CMDR Vegassimus, Fonticulua Fluctus, Lysoosms RL-B c14-11, 6 a'']]
 
=== Description ===
''A species of fonticulua that exists on worlds with oxygen atmospheres. They produce coiling wave-shaped structures which tilt toward sunlight.''
 
=== Conditions of occurrence ===
 
* Planet with thin Oxygen atmosphere
* Icy or Rocky Ice planets
* Maximum gravity: 0.27
 
== Fonticulua lapida ==
[[File:Fonticulua Lapida.png|thumb|Fonticulua Lapida]]
 
=== Description ===
''A fonticulua species that exists in atmospheres with a heavy concentration of nitrogen. Growing up along the main stalk are bright gem-like pods. which can break off and create new colonies.''
 
=== Conditions of occurrence ===
 
* Planet with thin Nitrogen atmosphere
* Icy or Rocky Ice planets
* Maximum gravity: 0.27
 
== Fonticulua segmentatus ==
[[File:Fonticula segmentatus Emerald.jpg|thumb|CMDR Recluso, Fonticula segmentatus, Eafots FY-L c7-5, 5 A]]
 
=== Description ===
''A species of fonticulua found in atmospheres dominated by neon, appearing as a pyramid—shaped cluster of frilled sections.''
 
=== Conditions of occurrence ===
 
* Planet with thin Neon or Neon-rich atmosphere
* Icy or Rocky Ice planets
* Maximum gravity: 0.27
 
== Fonticulua upupam ==
[[File:Fonticulua upupam Turquoise.jpg|thumb|CMDR Mist0, Fonticulua upupam, Graei Dryai SO-Z d13-0, AB 3 e]]
 
=== Description ===
''This fonticulua species can he found on ice worlds with argon-rich atmospheres. They produce broad hoop-shaped structures to better reflect weak sunlight onto themselves for photosynthesis.''
 
=== Conditions of occurrence ===


*Fonticulua Campestris
* Planet with thin Argon-rich atmosphere
*Fonticulua Digitos
* Icy or Rocky Ice planets
*Fonticulua Fluctus
* Maximum gravity: 0.27
