Ancestor:Descendants:

The plyent sapshroom split from its ancestor, the sapshroom. It ives much like its ancestor however it now feeds on the sap of plents rather than carnoferns. It will feed on its host until its dies and then will consume it as it rots. It grows bright purple spore berries which attract frugivores with its bright color. The juice is very sticky and is easily wiped off on trunks of plyents by the fauna who eat it. The trunk and cap have no natural pigment and become whatever color it eats. This means green when its host is alive and then dark brown when eating the rotting material. They also have retained an antifreeze-like chemical in them to prevent them from freezing in the cold.
