Purple bootlump

The purple bootlump is an edible fungus-like creature that grows on Bertyllia.
==Information==
Purple bootlumps are similar to fungi in that they develop a mycelium and a fruiting body that releases spores into the air. However, unlike fungi, they feed mainly on the magical field by catching and absorbing magitons with their mycelia. They also absorb oxygen, nitrogen, and other useful substances from the air.
Purple bootlumps grow from spore to shroom in a month. Their growth is accelerated during Seisark's full phase.
They prefer open areas with near-sea level elevations.
Purple bootlumps are farmed for food on Bertyllia by the Jeligant. They can be eaten raw or cooked. They have a firm, chewy consistency similar to shiitake, and taste like cheddar cheese. They are mildly poisonous to Apocashrooms and give them diarrhea.
They can grow on snow, dirt, gravel, or any other loose material. They are extremely cold-tolerant, as most species in Bertyllia are. In the wild, they are eaten by Carapaimuin.
==Trivia==
*They can be fermented and distilled into alcohol.
*They smell like salt and vinegar potato chips.
*They are Amacilia's main export.
