The
At night pseudopods formed from The colony exert their way up through the soil to reach the surface. When these come in contact with organic matter they will spread tendrils of cells across in order to secure the food from other decomposers and break it down into transportable fragments or organic slush. The tendrils will form small beads of cells along themselves in which the activity of breaking down the organic matter is focused. This can look like a bubbling foaming ooze at times. This partially digested material is transported back down through the pseudopods to the main body of the colony, where they're stored in clumps and digested at the leisure of the Duff Dinner. The tunnels formed by this nightly activity aerates and may even gradually churn the soil above the colony as it punches holes through the forest floor. Although tunnels may be used repeatedly, more often a tunnel is simply abandoned shortly after use and allowed to gradually collapse back in on itself as new tunnels push the soil around.
