The Herbarium

The Herbarium is a collection of all special plants, mushrooms, and other living things that appear in Skyfall. This is the one-stop place to find out more about the nature of Izuno VI, what is edible, what isn't, and where to find it. The list will slowly but surely expand over time with more original plants. As always, suggestions are welcome.

The Herbarium has been split up into three sections: flora, which will hold almost all of the plants, from trees to flowers to vines, fungi, which will hold all mushrooms and other fungus-y things, and other, which will hold whatever doesn't fit in the other two. The plants will be sorted alphabetically within that.

Angel's brambles
Brambles covered in sharp thorns that spread like weeds through wooded areas. Their thorns are covered in paralytic poison, and the more stabs or scratches one receives, the more difficult it is to move. Falling into a patch of angel's brambles can be a death sentence.

Angel's trap
Often growing close to angel's brambles, the angel's trap is a carnivorous plant that relies on its victims being paralysed and weak enough to stumble onto its trigger. Its vine-like limbs then reach out and wrap around the creature, slowly but surely constricting them as a snake would. Everything is consumed, even the hair and bones.

Ashen tassel
Flowers that grow in areas with lots of sun and moisture. When they're nearby, water is bound to be near as well. Their sap can be used to soothe pain and irritation and promote natural healing. It's also antibacterial.

Lumen moss
Moss that grows within the Glowing Canyon that emits a soft, blue glow.

Lumen vines
Vines that grow within the Glowing Canyons that hold berries (lumen berries) that emit a soft, blue glow.

Morisia
A herb that tastes sweet and tangy. The stalks are often chewed on as a snack to keep hunger at bay. Its leaves taste rather strong, though.

Sidus tree
A tall, bush-like tree with slim, long grey leaves and fluffy bark. It bears sidus fruit, a blue-purple, star-shaped fruit has a skin that's almost a bit leathery and looks like small scales, with little white pin-pricks on the center of each scale. The light green flesh within is sweet and fresh, with an unusually spicy tang to it. It's very nutritious.

Somnum flower
Flowers growing within the Blooming Valley that have sleep-inducing and pain-numbing effects on humanoids.

Udrosia
A herb commonly found and used in cooking. It enhances the flavours of other ingredients, making them fuller and richer. On its own, it has an earthy scent and taste.

Weeping bloom
Innocent-looking flowers that grow in bushes in sunny places. However, eating any part of the plant - from the seeds down to the roots - will cause severe poisoning that can result in death even in small doses.

Chronoshrooms
Mushrooms from the Cove of Sanctuary. Rapidly age those that touch or eat it.

Crystal lichen
Clusters of fungi that cover living organisms and turn them into minerals.

Mineralised plantlife
Trees, plants, and shrubs that have been turned into various minerals and metals, either through the Candlewind or through the lichen.
