Comparing the two places, it would be obvious that between the Datura Desert and the beaches near it, the beaches would grow quicker by far, right? But it took until the near end of the epoch after the end-Prevailnoffian mass extinction for the beaches to harbor any sort of multicellular life. Its roots are better at getting any sort of nutrients possible and can grow nearly indefinitely. They will start growing slower the longer the roots are, however, and often some parts that are labeled as "unhelpful" break off or shrink to give rooms for other roots to grow. Its spikes have evolved a photosynthetic layer around them, acting like leaves that its ancestors had previously gotten rid of.
Fungeachs will grow near each other, as its reproduction strategy doesn't permit Fungeaches from growing far apart. Although still having spores, they will also attempt to grow their roots close to other Fungeaches. If two roots from two independent Fungeach reach each other, they will each produce a single egg and a few sperm that create a brand new Fungeach. The two parents will then retract their roots to not accidentally breed with the same individual twice.
