Ancestor:Descendants:

The salty fungibane split from its ancestor, the fungibane. It has spread up Ramul Beach through the banks of the Flisch Salt Bog to the Soma Salt Flats. Since it lives in areas with high levels of salt, it is able to excrete excess salt from its upper chamber. It still has the chemical that 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. This thus prevents crystal flora from growing here, though this adaptation is only a by-product of its ancestry. It also has been able to reach Darkov beach by living on the banks of the slarti salt marsh.
