Zone K have abnormally fertile soils, compared to most other zones. This is due to a single species that are the only decomposing fungus on the islands, Blastios ouranus. Unlike Fungera primus, B. ouranus has no zoospore. Instead, it entirely consists of long hyphae, with organelles spread out. It takes in tiny pieces of dead organic material, digests them, and excretes leftover materials. These materials are the same compounds that allow polyphs to grow, allowing a diversity of them to grow, which gives more potential food for the fungus. It grows extra branches and length by using the energy and nutrients to grow and duplicate parts of the cell, and they reproduce by expelling excess branches off via binary fission, which regrow. If the new cell loses a part or the entirety of the nucleus, they'll recreate it with genetic material all over the body for just in case, and attempt to recreate it. These are not always perfect, and accidents are left as mutations to the cell, allowing for them to speciate and evolve.
