The Trees of Night are plants found in the Gth Isles of Gars. Though plants, they share many characteristics of fungi. The "trees" are reproductive appendages that release spores into the atmosphere. The bulk of the plant is located underground, in a system of root-like tubers. Carbohydrates and vital proteins are acquired parasitically, when the roots tap into another plant.

The Trees only bloom at night. During the day, the appendage remains underground.
