Ancestor:Descendants:

The tall fungibane replaced its ancestor, the salty fungibane as well as its distant ancestor, fungibane. It has grown to twice its size and is twice as deadly. Not only can it dissolve the fungi-like "hypha" (which is made of chitin tubules) in crystal flora and glass flora but it also effects the "chitin" exoskeletons of anipedes and sagavermes. Like its ancestor it is able to excrete excess salt from its upper chamber. Its deadly 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 gets killed. The airborne spores can melt the chitin exoskeleton of crytal flora, glass flora, anipedes and sagavermes. The following species have gone extinct because of its presence; cadovermi, ramul surfaceworm, frabooball, dartir, savanna dunghorn, stonehorn, sporeworm, shroomworm, worm phlyer, sporestalk scuttlecrab, clear-wing worm, tuft currybug, scurry currybug, bladeworm, soilworm, shellwinged punctureworm, spietsenwurm, diabolus darbola, stubnose phibi, crystalgrass dunghorn, bouncer currybug and vicious limbless.
