{{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}} | {{Quote|Photosynthetic colony organisms found exclusively on ice worlds, where they have embraced the surrounding frozen material as a form of protection.

'''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. | '''Fonticulua''' are a species of alien organism found on [[planets]] and [[moons]] with thin atmospheres across the galaxy.

Fonticulua 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> | |||
