Is it possible for a plant to live in the kind of environment that I created? The environment has dim light, is underground, full of lava, and has constant lava explosions. This environment also has sentient pig people and giant boars. The plant is small, red, and has bulbs at the end of it's stalks. Water is almost non-existent along with absolutely no sunlight. Is this at all possible? How?
This is a short article that I made about the plant:
Stygius Calcaneumverucca
This plant, unlike its name, is not a mushroom.
The scientific name of your plant (genus+species) Stygius Calcaneumverruca
What is the Classification of your plant? (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species) Viridiplantae, Polypodiophyta, Polypodiopsida, Polypodiales, Pteridaceae, Stygius, Calcaneumverruca
What is the appearance of your plant? Hell Shroom is a small fungus that grows on the sand in certain parts of a fiery dimension. Fully grown, they commonly reach heights of almost 36 inches or 3 feet. The spores are rather large and are almost always at a size of 22 inches. The majority of the spore then roots into the ground showing a stem size, in its first stage of growth, of about 15 inches. In its second stage of growth, it reaches sizes of 27 inches. And its final and third stage of growth is, of course, 36 inches.
What are notable features of your plant? Hell Shroom is also a fern because ferns are already highly adaptive to heat and light and they reproduce with spores, which Hell Shroom does. The colors are a dark red color. It grows on odd sand found in very hot parts of the universe. It is an extremely fast-growing plant taking a maximum of 13.653 hours to grow one stage and takes a maximum of 40.96 hours to grow to its third and final stage of growth. This fungus can only grow on the sand and can’t grow on soil. It is not affected much by environmental factors such as light and temperature.
Lava produces carbon dioxide and Hell Shroom, being a plant, breathes in the CO2 and expels oxygen. The red color of the Hell Shroom was brought by the fact that pigs or piglins, which may eat them, cannot differentiate too much between shades of the same color. As Hell Shroom grows in fortresses, the bricks are a reddish-brown and the Hell Shrooms are a darkish red. They blend in with the surroundings from a pig person or a giant boar's point of view.
Ferns have been known to live in caves with almost no light, this dimension does not provide almost any light. No plant needs absolutely no water, so the Hell Shroom synthesizes its own. It is extremely heat resistant, the growths at the end of the stems or stalks are where it combines hydrogen and part of the oxygen that it creates. But to get the hydrogen, it has another mechanism where it injects CO2 is injected it into an aqueous electrolyte, where reacts with a cathode, turning the solution more acidic, which in turn generates electricity and creates hydrogen. The spark that it creates is used to provide the activation energy necessary to combine the hydrogen and oxygen creating water. The water is absorbed by the plant to repeat this cycle. The cathode is made of purpurin which is a real-life natural dye found in plants. However, the cathode needs carbon to function at maximum capacity. The carbon is extracted from the ground using the roots.
The roots of the Hell Shroom have few uses which are to anchor the plant firmly to the ground and extract carbon from the soil/sand. They also help insulate the plant from the heat emanating from the ground.
It does not need light because the gene for getting energy via photosynthesis is instead with a gene encoding for a glucose transporter. It is found in real-world studies that algae and ferns altered with the gene for a human glucose transporter grew in dark fermenters at densities 15 times that of sunlight-grown algae. In addition, these tiny plants which are used in a number of dietary supplements were less likely to become contaminated.
Describe the main organs of the plant. Roots, stem/stalk, and leaves/bulbs/growths.
Describe the life cycle. The first stage through the third (last) stage all function the same. It is able to reproduce in any stage though it is most effective reproducing in its last stage. The spores stick to humans, or other creatures and then get planted.
Does it have a flower or not? It does not have a flower. The growth on the end of the stem, in it’s final stage of growth, may or may not be considered a flower.
Does it reproduce with seeds or spores? It reproduces with spores. When a fully grown Hell Shroom is broken, they spread into 2-4 Hell Shroom spores. An infantile Hell Shroom when broken, only spreads into 1 Hell Shroom spore. They rely on outside sources to spread.
