Sea Fungus - Tumblr Posts

mardix, more commonly called a sea fungus, is a poisonous marine fungi, they are poisonous not due to any biological toxins, but due their intense saline content being too high for even the most salt adapted animals, causing at the least, extreme pain and discomfort and vomiting, and at the most, death, a painful one, they have gills growing from their sides, they usually have one but as they get older and their "roots" are growing farther from the exposed body they will start growing more, though this rule isnt always solid, like some of the time they will grow a second one when theyve just barely extended their "roots", though usually the third fourth fifth and sixth gill structures when they grow their "roots" farther, they can be eaten by only one animal, a swimming hawk, when they are desperate enough for food they will swim down to the bottom of the ocean in search of food, if you have any questions about this animal please dont be afraid to ask
