Fungoida

Fungoida Bullarum - Red

Organisms that live deep inside a planetary substrate. They share similar morphology to fungi but are not saprophytic, instead their mycelial body drives its metabolism through chemosynthetic and thermosynthetic processes. These are facilitated by substrate, which also protects the organism from environmental extremes. The exposed aspects of the organisms are primarily involved in reproduction. This is frequently through spore ejection, but certain species also support gaseous exchange with the atmosphere. Some fungoida exhibit bioluminescent behaviours as a part of a metabolic process involved in the breakdown of accumulated toxins.

— In-Game Description

Fungoida is a genome 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 300m.

Description

Fungoida are named after their fungus-like appearance. They are only known to grow on the sides of large mountains, where they can often be found among clusters of other biologicals such as Frutexa. They are very small; recognizable with Night Vision from 200m.

Types

There are four known types of Fungoida with differing base values:

SPECIES	VALUE
Fungoida Bullarum	3,703,200
Fungoida Gelata	3,330,300
Fungoida Setisis	1,670,100
Fungoida Stabitis	2,680,300

Distance

Minimum distance between two genetic samples: 300 m

Conditions of occurrence

• Planets with thin atmosphere
• Maximum gravity: 0.27

ATMOSPHERE TYPE	SPECIES
Ammonia Methane, Methane-rich	Fungoida Setisis
Argon, Argon-rich	Fungoida Bullarum
Carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide rich (180 K - 195 K) Water, Water rich	Fungoida Gelata Fungoida Stabitis

Fungoida bullarum

CMDR Nozdus, Fungoida bullarum, Flyooe Eohn YL-G b3-1, A 2

Description

A fungoida that features clusters of mottled bubble-shaped growths atop a central stalk. These contain spores that can be exposed to the winds to facilitate distribution.

Conditions of occurrence

• Planets with thin Argon or Argon-rich atmosphere
• Maximum gravity: 0.27

Colored variants

Colored variant determined by rare material found on planet:

MATERIAL	COLOR
Antinomy	Red
Polonium	Mulberry
Ruthenium	Magenta
Technetium	Peach
Tellurium	Gold
Yttrium	Orange

Fungoida gelata

CMDR Tiberius Vaako, Fungoida gelata, Preae Theia LA-L b35-0 A6A

Description

This fungoida species resembles an upturned jellyfish, emerging from a solid base buried within the substrate. The exposed part is dominated by fleshy reproductive organisms that shed organic tissue. This tissue can float on the light breeze and form a new organism if it lands in the right location.

Conditions of occurrence

• Planets with thin Carbon Dioxide or Water atmosphere
• Maximum gravity: 0.27
• For Carbon Dioxide atmospheres, mean temperature between 180 K and 195 K

Colored variants

Colored variant determined by rare material found on planet:

MATERIAL	COLOR
Cadmium	Cyan
Mercury	Lime
Molybdenum	Mulberry
Niobium	Green
Tungsten	Orange
Tin	Red

Fungoida setisis

CMDR Hanna Hunter, Fungoida setisis, Slegeae VP-O c22-0, 4 a

Description

This fungoida species produces vertical clusters interspersed with spore pods atop thin stalks. allowing them to break off and scatter to reproduce elsewhere.

Conditions of occurrence

• Planets with thin Ammonia or Methane atmosphere
• Maximum gravity: 0.27

Colored variants

Colored variant determined by rare material found on planet:

MATERIAL	COLOR
Antinomy	Peach
Polonium	White
Ruthenium	Gold
Technetium	Lime
Tellurium	Yellow
Yttrium	Orange

Fungoida stabilis

CMDR Alistair Hope, Fungoida stabitis, Veil West Sector BQ-Y d88, BC 3 a

Description

A species of fungoida that thrives on geothermal energy. and can produce two-metre high tower structures composed of tightly clustered cylinders.

Conditions of occurrence

• Planets with thin Carbon dioxide or Water atmosphere
• Maximum gravity: 0.27
• For Carbon Dioxide atmospheres, mean temperature between 180 K and 195 K

Colored variants

Colored variant determined by rare material found on planet:

MATERIAL	COLOR
Cadmium	Blue
Mercury	Green
Molybdenum	Magenta
Niobium	White
Tungsten	Peach
Tin	Orange
