Ancestor:Descendants:

The fungibane split from its ancestor, the fuzzstalk. It has gotten smaller and has spread to the temperate and tropical beaches of Darwin. It is about half the size of its ancestor but lives very much like it. Since it lives on the beach it is able to excrete excess salt from its upper chamber. Its main adaption is a chemical in which can dissolve the red fungi-like insides of crystal flora. It has no effect other non-fungi flora. This chemical is present in both their airborne spores and leeched out into the soil by their bulb root. Thus no new crystal flora can grow by it and any existing ones quickly get the airborne spores in their pours and thus melt on the inside. Not only has this caused the extinction of crystal flora from Darwin but the extinction of those species that depended upon the flora. It has caused the following species to become extinct in its range; crystalwalker crystal, crystalworm, hammertoe, flashwalker crystal, flashwalker, glowing forest, calflash, korystal, calcrystalium, flash currybug, korystal currybug and coastsnapper.
