10 Milmold

Name: Milmold
Descendant of: Blugi Blight
Description: Their thicker roots store nutrients long-term and wind their way throughout a mass and piercing between the cells of one of the blugi descendants. The hyphae side-shoots they grow are comparatively small. they don't kill the plant host but decline it's health over a long period of time, giving the mold more nutrients over the long term and allowing them to produce more fruit and spores.
A few of the symbiote bacteria that live in the roots migrate up channels inside the fruiting bodies and occupy vacant pockets in special feminized spore cells, ready to seed the next generation of Milmold with the symbiote.
From a macroscopic view they look like a dirty teal green fuzz growing outwards from within the plant's structure. These are the fruiting bodies.
Reproduction: Fruiting bodies cast off spores to the sea or wind. Spores are sexual most of the time but are asexual during low population density.
Food: Parasitism of aquatic plants (e.g. bublalgi, bubgum, hairgi)
Ocean Locations: 1 (Coast) Land Locations: 1 (Coast)
