Blushroom

Overview
Blushrooms release spores and psychedelic pheromones out of their mouth, which alter the perception of the consumer. The pheromones make what would normally eat the fungus euphoric and uninterested in ingesting them. The mycelium of the blushroom spread throughout its environment and can send proteins, signals, and thoughts to each other blushroom. They can speak very primitively and can take up to an hour to complete a conversation, by sending signals to each other through their roots.

In every Blushroom colony there is a Mother Blushroom, Referred to as "Mouma" by some Beeber cultures and by any colony taught to speak english, regardless of if taught the correct spelling of Mama, Mum, or Mother. The Mother Blushroom is on average 5 or more times the size of a normal Blushroom, and can speak and interact at almost the same speed as a normal Beeber.

In a colony, each blushroom, or in the context of the colony, a "node", is given a role. A node can be a Photosynthesiser, a Socialiser, and in exremely rare cases, when cut off from the home colony, one can become a Hopper a.k.a. Rogue, or a Mouma.

Morphology
Blushrooms measure at 22.5 Centimetres, protrude from the ground, feature a large photosynthesising area around the neck, are long, and tapered at one end. On the tapered end the form ends with a head which features a mouth.
