Dragon Mushroom

The dragon mushroom is an egg-shaped, "gasteroid" fungus that grows in a variety of climates across Pandora. It is largely composed of a stomach-like sack in which spores are formed internally before being violently ejected in a thick cloud.
Its distinctive yellow sack is covered in wiry, red tendrils which grow around the fungus' body as it matures. It is these tendrils which periodically grip the fungus, causing spore ejection.
The dragon fungus is highly adaptable, growing freely on vines and tree trunks as well as rotting wood and even cave walls, only requiring damp conditions to thrive.
Considered an "angry" plant by native Na'vi, the dragon mushroom is largely avoided by native wildlife. The spore clouds it emits cause irritation on skin, lungs and eyes and can cause sickness in the young or infirm.
