This article contains the text of a literary source.Please refrain from changing the content of the source and correcting spelling and grammar errors.
**Flora of Rathnir and Eldham** (*full title: **Catalogue of the Plants, Algae, and Fungi of Rathnir and Eldham***) is a compendium written by Dr. Tara Sauranis containing all known and referenced extant floral species of Rathnir and Eldham. Inspired by her previous bestseller, the Animals of Rathnir and Eldham, its first edition was initially published on March 15th, 2022.

Links are provided for all organisms that have wiki pages.

Recognizing the paraphyletic nature of classifying plants, fungi, and various algaes together, the book is formatted in a "folk-taxonomic" sense for the most part, classifying organisms by their size and appearance rather than their true phylogeny.

*(Editor's note; This page may be edited by anyone wishing to add their own flora to the page. So long as the author is notified and the content is consistent with the rest of the page's entries, edits are allowed and the above literature disclaimer may be ignored.)*

## Fungi

Fungi are decomposing organisms of a large variety of forms, all classified into the kingdom Fungi. Despite being sessile, they are phylogenetically closer to animals than to plants.

### Overworld Higher Fungi

Various larger members of the phyla Basidiomycota and Ascomycota, bearing a fruiting body commonly known as a mushroom.

**Brown Mushroom (*Agaricus brunneis*)**

The most common mushroom in the world, with a worldwide distribution. It can be eaten and used in many dishes when boiled. Typically small, it cna grow as high as 18 meters in height.

**Fly Agaric (*Amanita muscaria*)**

A common red mushroom with white spots. Found the world over, it is a commonly-known fungus used both culinarily and recreationally- it bears powerful hallucinogenic effects.

**Andorn Agaric (*Amanita andornensis*)**

A relative of the Fly Agaric, native to Syltör's conifer forests. Has similar pharmacological properties to its common cousin.

**Lumofungus (*Lumofungus subterranaeu*s)**

Glowing fungus native to the caves of Eldham. It is edible, and eaten by both civilized peoples and wild animals such as the Bunch Sparrow and extinct Cavedigger Sloth.

**Glow Lichen (*Rutila rutilans*)**

Despite its name, the Glow Lichen is not a true lichen, as it lacks an endosymbiotic algae. It is able to digest rock and produces a glowing effect as a byproduct.

### Nether-endemic Higher Fungi

Most Nether fungi are relatives of Overworld fungi, however they are often reliant on magic to survive the hot temperatures and find enough food to consume. Many genera of fungi, such as *Lumofungus* and *Clavaria*, span both the Nether and Overworld.

**Crimson Fungus *(Arboromyces rubrum)***

A large red fungus which grows in the Nether; it has folds hiding its gills due to its large size. Nylium is simply the hyphae of the fungus, whereas the "tree" is the fruiting body of the organism. The fruiting body has dense chitinous tissue that can be used as a building material.

**Crimson Root** **(*Clavaria structura*)**

Nether-native fungus that forms a lichen with a red alga.

**Nether Sprout (*Lepidostroma congregata*)**

Small Nether fungus found in the warped forest.

**Nether Wart (*Infernoverruca inconcinna*)**

Commonly-cultivated nether fungus used to brew potions. Grows off of soul sand.

**Shroomlight (*Lumofungus hadensis*)**

Glowing fungus native to the Nether. Shares a common ancestor with the Lumofungus.

**Twisting Vine (*Spirampelus regularis*)**

Large fungal ectosymbiont with Warped Algae in its tissue. Grows upward in a spiral pattern. Possibly related to the extinct *Prototaxites*.

**Warped Fungus (*Arboromyces maledictus*)**

Similar to the Crimson fungus in anatomy, save for its green coloration derived from different algal endosymbionts.

**Warped Root (*Gigantosporangium cyanum*)**

Large blue-green mold native to the nether; its fruiting bodies are long with large sporangia.

### Infectious Fungi

**Russantia Fungus (*Russantia dermatophaga)***

An infectious parasitic fungus from Haven. It was first discovered in the town of Russantia, Uldarash, where an infection had broken out- this is namesake of the fungus genus. Much of the fungus' nature is heavily debated.

**Black Deathspore Fungus (*Mortospora nigra)***

Despite its foreboding name, the Black Fungus is mostly a plant parasite. However, it can poison the consumer of infected plants.

**Neihernspried (*Hadiadidomis hunteri*)**

Also known as "Netherspread". A magically-engineered and rapidly-evolving infectious fungus from Eldham. However, it is cureable in the early stages of infection.

**Scoiris (*Bleihrenimis contentionem*)**

A distinct descendant of the Neihernspried. It is similar to Neihernspried. Found in the caves around Myrtle, Anglunia.

**Brewer's Yeast (*Saccharomyces cerevisiae*)**

A common and very important yeast species used in brewing alcohol and baking bread. Can be infectious, but infections of yeast are very rare and benign.

## Algae

### Brown Algae

**Giant Kelp (*Macrocystis pyrifera*)**

Large kelp species with a worldwide distribution. Forms kelp forests in certain nutrient-rich waters.

**Gilded Kelp (*Thalassochrysus hesperidens*)**

A golden-colored leafy kelp found on the western coast of Haven and Ummarnu in the Domeri Sea. Provides habitat for the Havenite Leaffish.

## Pteridophytes (ferns and kin)

### Ambulophytes (Walking plants)

**Moving Moss (*Ambulospagnum carnivorum)***

Commonly known as the "Green Beast"; a carnivorous moss species that lives deep in the forests of Haven, mostly in Hearthstone Yuldai. It is not known whether it became animated due to evolution, magic, or divine power.

**Creeper (*Ekrixibrya reptis)***

A walking plant that can explode. Once used as a source of harvestable gunpowder, the creeper is now highly endangered.

**Leadwood (*Picea purpura*)**

Also called Purple Pine. tall evergreen tree from family Pinaceae, commonly found in the South Boulderov region, on the continent of Haven. It derives its name from slightly purple resin it produces. It is speculated that Purple Pine absorbs end stone dust in the soil it grows in to enhance its resin, to protect itself from insects and pathogens more efficiently.

**Ocotlan Pine (*Pinus ocotlanensis*)**

Pine tree native to Ocotlan and neighboring islands.

**Norfst Redwood (*Sequoia norfthornensis*)**

A massive conifer that inhabits a stretch of forest in west-central Syltör- specifically from Areska to Obrithyll. Once a contiguous woodland, the population is broken up into chunks thanks to logging.

**Endanor Redwood (*Sequoia melwendensis*)**

A close relative of the Norfst Redwood, and suggested by some to be a subspecies of the latter. It is found only in the foothills of the Fornoisan ranges, in the Great Timber Expanse of north-central Aurlûnor.

**Nir Cypress (*Taxodium yiyenicum*)**

A rare tree native to Nir Province, prized for its lumber. It is a tall, thin, deciduous conifer, often found with Kumiho Moss hanging from its branches. It is also well-adapted to living partially submerged, as its trunk widens significantly at the bottom. Parts of its roots known as "knees" jut out from beneath the ground to stabilize the tree during floods. It is a keystone species in preventing erosion in the swamp due to this. Its slow growth rate makes it not-ideal for sustained logging.

It prefers to grow mostly on the hammocks and dry ridges above the wetlands proper.

Also known as the Nir Live Oak. The most common tree in the Ha Anga Bayou, known for its wide crown of foliage and its tolerance of being immersed in water. Well-desired for its high quality lumber, its unique shape also makes it ideal habitat for nesting birds, arboreal creatures, and many kinds of vines and epiphytes. It is an evergreen, unlike most temperate-climate oaks.

**Mangrove-of-Heaven (*Rhizopora aethera*)**

The species of mangrove commonly found growing along the Gulf of Heaven, these aquatic trees thrive in the salty waters of the bayou. Their roots play host to all kinds of creatures, both above and below the water. Being incredibly common, they can be seen in large monocultural strands lining the coasts for miles on end.

**Oaken Azalea (*Rhododendron quercoides*)**

A more tree-like azalea, with bark similar to that of oak trees, hence its name.

**Blood Vine (*Haemophilium yizilvitezinneum*)**

Blood Vines, or Yizil'vite'zinne, are an extremely dangerous type of vine that, when touched by a living creature, is able to grab the animal by by coiling itself around its body. After ensnaring its prey, the Bloodvine collects blood through modified elongate stomata on its leaves and stem. The plant uses the nutrients in the blood to grow.
