Funguary Feb 12 - Demonic Dead Man's Fingers - Xylaria Polymorpha
Dead man's fingers is a saprobic fungus with geographic distribution across all six inhabited continents. The Dead Man's Deer is a ruminant artiodactyl who's inclusion in the clade is subject to much debate. While the structure of it's feet resemble various antelope subspecies, and the horns most certainly do (they are not antlers), the fact that it has a varying number of legs has perplexed taxonomists for years.
But only those researchers that can outdistance it. While many bovidae will consume meat occasionally, the Dead Man's Deer is unusual in that it is carnivorous in reproduction. It chases and consumes herbivores, adding them gradually to it's organ-less body. Eventually enough portions will be colonised by the blue emanations that they can slough off and create a new Dead Man's Deer.
