Starry-Night Bolette

A species of dark-colored mushroom with a purplish-blue cap that grows to titanic size and spreads its spores over a wide area, Starry-Night derives its name from the bioluminescent spiracles that dot the fungus's gills, cap, and stem, giving the impression of a starry sky when seen from below. These spiracles allow air to pass into the fungus's perpetual fruiting body that brings in sufficient Mana to support the massive structure. These mushrooms are limited in their size primarily by their capacity to absorb Mana and consumption by wildlife, as the body is edible and Mana-rich. If allowed to grow, Starry-Night frequently becomes parasitized by other fungus, particularly large shelf fungus, and may provide sufficient shelter to allow for the formation of a Sporewood. The fungus is highly resistant to sunlight and temperature change and will grow continuously so long as it is not destroyed.
