Mushroom Carbuncle
DESIGNATION: Sanc (AG/IN) CONTAINMENT PROTOCOL: All storage locations for IS-0171-B must be fully hermetically sealed and all research personnel interacting with live subjects must wear micro-grade, corrosion resistant oxygen filters at all times. All equipment must be irradiated and decontaminated in accordance with GISP anti-hyphatic procedures.
A variant of IS-0171 endemic to the Mycofields of Anteverse 2, the Mushroom Carbuncle ejects a plume of toxic spores when approached. While the exact factors contributing to the creature's evolution are unclear, Dr. Petra Peters is pursuing research into the epigenetic effects of spore exposure. The creature also produces a fungus that is edible by humans when cooked.
