Shockcomb
This fungus descended from F. Primus, and adapted to changing conditions in zone 4 by forming piezoelectric lattices, both on the micro level of individual cells and on the macro level of mycelium networks. These generate electricity when pressure is applied, which is enough to ward off potential consumers. Any electricity not used to defend is stored in one of three identical organelles within the zoospores. These store electricity and can release it at a later time, either to defend against more resilient predators or to propel free-floating zoospores. The mycelial networks grow in a hexagonal lattice, with zoospores forming at each intersection point, leaving sporangia behind in favour of large mycelial networks with lots of zoospores within the structure. When a comb breaks, whether from overpopulation or an overwhelming assault, the mycelia release from the zoospores, which then move away to form more combs. Each zoospore propels itself along, the three organelles taking the place of flagellum by creating static electricity in the direction of movement, and will form mycelium within small chambers at the outer points not occupied by the electric organelles during its journey, sending them out upon reaching the location of its new colony. With enough stored electricity, a large colony could potentially move large objects by generating high amounts of electricity, and the movement that causes would somewhat restore lost reserves as the objects are moved.
