any updates?

Made some minor ones

Done and ready for review

" fungal-like core is a network of airgaps"
Fungus-like, airgaps.
By what means do they store nutrients for hard times? Inulin? Starch? Glycogen? For a genus gorup, the description is small.

Added a bit more. Honestly I could use a bit more inspiration with the description. I feel like I'm phoning it in a bit too much

Ah, these are not "lichens" like crystals, correct?
So their sexual reproductive method should be fairly easier to develop. If you wanted to do that.

"form the more isolated landmasses" That's a typo: you meant "from the".
If the chitinous lenses are broken, how does it regenerate? Does it scab over?
What are its general sunlight regimes? (I presume full sun, judging by one of its ancestors being a pioneer species.) Does it have any defensive compounds to use against herbivores or pests? What is the general range of its fungus-roots?

There's a typo: "ancestosr".

Alright I believe I'm done with these!

Can I get a review of these as well?

Fixed the support, respiration, and thermoregulation

I'd have formatted the support as External Shell (Chitin Lens)
