Ezafes
From Multiverses
Ezafes are a type of plant-like fungus from Yeseg.
Physiology
Ezafes have an extensive system of microvilli-covered spikes which go into the soil, and absorb nutrients.
These lead to a massive mycoprotein stem, up to 2m wide. It can be up to 10m tall.
From the top of this extend fleshy lobe-like leaves, green with chlorophyll.
Distribution
Ezafes grow along riversides, where sufficient nutrients and water are available.
Cultivation
Zyrothans have cultivated Ezafes, as they are very protein-rich.
