Juvenile dendroshrooms are partially autotrophic, as algae supplied by their mother--originally and occasionally still obtained by accidental infection of the female achene's pore--grows in their cap. This causes them to take on a particular color, including cyan, green, and gold. The sugars provided by the algae allow them to grow without a food source, and those with flashcell symbiotes may also flicker when disturbed, due to the symbiote's tendency to do so. The adults may partially lose this symbiosis once they reach full size and no longer need to fuel significant growth, but will retain algae cells in their cap, which females will then package with their achenes.

Though dendroshrooms are quite tall, they also have very narrow, flexible stalks for their size. This means that when large fauna bump into them, they wobble--and this shakes loose some achenes, causing them to shower down on the passer-by, clinging on to fibrous integument using tiny hooks. This aids them in spreading far and wide throughout their environment. Through this, though they originated in [[Wallace]], they have also been able to spread to [[~~Koseman~~]] on the backs of flying fauna.

There are many species of dendroshrooms. The largest species generally live in woodland biomes where there is plenty of detritus to feed on. However, lone, tall dendroshrooms can also be found growing in nutrient-rich patches in any biome, even in deserts next to oases. Medium-sized species averaging 5 meters tall are more common in shrublands and wetlands. Some can also tolerate saltwater and reside on tiny islands in the mangals, mostly feeding on various kinds of dead mangrove trees. Smaller species are found in increasingly dry or harsh conditions where large size is unsustainable, until one reaches the alpine and polar regions where the odd dendroshroom surviving in a nutrient-rich spot will not exceed one meter in height.
