Decari
The decari is a type of fungus that produces a large, edible spore pod. It anchors itself to rocks and soil using long, filament-like rhizoids that are capable of regrowing the decari's main body if it is destroyed. When it is ready to reproduce, it creates a fruiting structure that resembles a rock. Eventually, the lightweight pod is released and it blows across the ground, scattering spores as it tumbles. The pods themselves are also capable of becoming new decari.
