Mushroom Discussion
conversation


 * mushroom that changes color based on many different factors
 * what it is decomposing
 * weather
 * moon phases
 * telepathic transmissions from other plants and animals
 * depending on the color may be useful or harmful
 * consistent but complicated
 * PhDs in mushroom harvesting
 * definitely not intelligence
 * just react to stimuli

Idea about telepathy
conversation

Wind: perhaps all life in the tannic universe has the ability to recieve telekinetic transmissions but only some can manifest them... and even then not every telekinetic transmission is understandable. some may be "encoded" differently such that they are incomprehensible without an innate biomagical ability to decode them, leaving those to be background noise.

Thunder: and they could be understood on a consious or subconsious level and there are skills to block transmissions if you wish, though it is difficult

Thunder's Idea Pile
creature idea

a sort of cloud of energy/darkness that floats through the universe emiting song. Except the song isn't quite music, it's also energy and something else unknown. You can hear it and feel it, physically and in your mind. It is very beautiful. And the energy/darkness is almost like nothingness, but nothing else exists like it in the universe so it can not be accurately described. It has a certain awe inspiring quality about it.

 * plant that has glowing fruit, like dim lightbulbs. burning this fruit causes it to explode. when controlled properly, this creates a kind of firework.
 * grass with little jagged leaves on a stem much like wheat or those grass seed things. grows tall and thick and it hard to get through, but small animals may find bunches of this grass to be a perfect nest or hiding spot.
 * multicolor moss, may also change colors
 * blue moss. great for bandages as it has healing properties. smells horrible if it doesn't get enough direct moonlight (it could be called feisty).
 * fuzzy trees, like really soft bark. lots of blue flowers on the trees. wood is a grey hue. the fuzz is a nice blue-grey. moss also likes to grow on these trees and it can look absolutely stunning.
 * bushes that have leaves as soft as flower petals. the thickest branches have thorns though. the berries on the bush are perfectly round and bright yellow and make great smoothies and juice. The inside is a mix between a blueberry and a pineapple.
 * trees that are very thick and short that produce a giant fruit (coconut size?). Fruit must be cooked before eating or it may cause a variety of symptoms which include extreme drowsiness, excessive giggling, upset stomach, or an uncontrollable urge to recite all the poetry that you have ever heard (and an uncanny ability to remember all of said poetry)
