Alien forest on planet Po

Planet Mycocrystallix orbits a young G-type star, its striking appearance visible even from space: a swirling mix of iridescent blues and greens under a thin veil of silvery clouds. Its atmosphere, rich in oxygen and carbon dioxide, supports a unique ecobiome on its surface—vast jungles dominated by crystal-like fungi. Covering most of the terrain, these crystal fungal jungles consist of towering stalk structures and luminescent caps that scatter light, creating a dazzling display of colors upon any who view them. These fungi are not merely passive elements of the landscape; they dynamically interact with Mycocrystallix’s environment. During the frequent electrical storms, their crystalline structures channel atmospheric energy, resulting in spectacular light shows. The surface temperature fluctuates dramatically, from searing daylight to frigid nights, yet the crystal fungi thrive, suggesting extreme adaptations.
