Like their ancestors they have a semi-symbiotic relationship with the [[Berry Arbourshroom|berry arbourshroom]]. The workers will harvest berries from the arbourshroom, helping the 'shrooms to grow and expand, and will also protect the fruiting shrooms from herbivores like the [[Blind Hoofplent|blind hoofplent]].
Line 29 ⟶ 27:
The lifespan of a queen is about 5 years while the lifespan of any given worker is about a year, maybe less. Just before the queen dies, she gives birth to a "king", a special worker of the soldier caste who is capable of breeding. After the king is grown she will give birth to a new queen and then dies; after she dies the workers will continue for a short time, but will eventually die too. Once the new queen is born the king will take her to a new location, there he will tend to her until she has grown. Once this happens the king will deposit his reproductive cells into a special organ in the queen; in this organ specialized stem cells analyze the DNA from the king's reproductive cells and begin producing more of these cells, so that the queen will never run out. And so the process begins again.
