Hymenium Type= None
Cap Shape= Convex
Spore Color= Hyper Blue
Ecological Type= Mycorrhizal
Description:
The U. Noslen seems to produce a compound that when exposed to the conditions of the cave are able to shield it from harmful radiation. The rate at which the fungus degrades the stone appears to be slowed. Study shows that the U. Noslen reproduces by dispersing small amounts of diaspores. Due to the lack of wind sources, the fungus is usually clusters but occasionally is able to fan out to other surfaces.
Habitat/Ecology:
Early speculation is that the U. Noslen's above average poikilohydric characteristics allow it to survive within these caves. Unlike similar species, when dehydrated the plant will release a toxic set of spores and die instead of entering the assumed cryptobiotic state.
