While determining the details of Afelahn power supply, I brought some plant samples to the age. One of the most interesting ones is a desert plant growing on Dasharens surface. I planted some into my big plant patch in Lab II, and they seem to be fine.
As you can see on the KI-shot, it has no leafs, so our guess is it doesn´t need any photosynthesis to grow. I called it a “plant”, but it could be a fungus, too, or something else entirely. Future examination will be necessary.
What we know is, that it stores a lot of water (like many desert organisms do) in its bulbous stem (or fruiting body).
If anyone would like to do some research on this plant/fungus/thingymabob, you´re welcome!
