So this canonizes transpiration for this lineage of chitjorn


" Papisjorns are resilient to various poor conitions" misspelling

"like an exaggerations" I'm unsure if "an" is what you wanted

"deep fissures or scars at at the base." Duplication

"alcohol may leave through these pores" I'm curious where the alcohol came from, I'm unfamiliar with this lineage. Given alcohol comes from a ferment.

"Makes segmented, somewhat starfruit-like fruiting structures" seems like there should be a word at the start

The origin and development of the fruit would be a good addition.

I believe I went through and fixed what you pointed out.

I noticed the reproduction section is missing on the basic information of this species, mind fixing that?

It's still a work in progress so I assume that's still in the works


It needs to go from asexual budding to sexual and figuring that out can be a big deal

Other than the sexual bit does this have anything else WIP about it?

I may have to adjust the physiology because Chitjorns, surprisingly, have no relation to crystalflora. They therefore don't necessarily have fungus-like physiology. There's also the template to fill in. However, I'll still be busy for a while.

I explained the similarities as a particularly odd case of convergent evolution, and suggested a real-life comparison to make it seem more plausible.

I think I was originally going to introduce sexual evolution, but that might take a while. To get this approved faster, perhaps I'll add that in a descendant.

Opinion: Pending, habitat needs fixing

Fixed the habitat typo.
I pointed out it was a flora because flora are generally ectotherms.
What would a mushroom 80 cm tall rely on? Cell walls?

@colddigger

Sounds good to me, I mean in 80 cm plant certainly relies on cell walls for its support Plus the pressure from a full vacuole of water keeping that wall rigid.

I guess plants are really pretty comparable.

Approved I would say.

I'm not completely certain I'd describe the support as an exoskeleton as opposed to a shell personally, but I suppose that's just semantics.

Seconded approval.
