I never knew tower caps were green until I had one mysteriously grow on an unmuddied area.



They look odd, but got me thinking of a bug/new request.  Any tree that grows from muddied ground has mud on it.  I think tree's should drop their muddied tag after they are no longer saplings.

A sound suggestion.

Ditto shrubs.

I'd second this because it appeals to me, but I'm not sure I should, considering that I've been in some amazingly muddy caves. I remember being in one in Pennsylvania that you couldn't really get into for most of the year, because the rest of the time it was completely packed with mud.

It covered everything, it filled everything, it *was* everything, and everywhere, and I can still remember how it smelled.

Well, at very least, outdoor trees should loose their muddyness.

I've seen green mud before... but somehow I doubt that the cause for it applies in this situation.

I added this idea to the UD thread a long time ago as a personal issue. (don't take that as a "already suggested, I'm here to support).

By extension, all the plants (not just tower caps) should lose the muddy attribute, or at least display green. Not so much for realism or anything, but just aesthetics.

Not for realism

Opacity of mud v. Photosynthesis. Also, plants do respirate and can be suffocated if you apply, say, petroleum jelly to the leaves.

hey, if you're gonna quote me, quote me...don't just take 3 words out of a 10 word sentence and hand me a third grade biology lesson.

just take 3

I don't think underground plants should be green in the first place though

[Apegrape]

I thought the tower caps were mushrooms, in that case they should be some funky blue or something.

This. IIRC the green pigments are essential for photosynthesis to take place, correct? There is no photosynthesis underground.

If I recall correctly, fungi don't do the whole photosynthesis thing at all, beings as how they aren't plants...

Haven't read the Wikipedia links, but this all matches up w/ what I learned in school. Plants are green because of chlorophyl, which is essential to photosynthesis. Fungi (i.e. tower-caps) don't use photosysthesis, and therefore probably woundn't be green.

That said, I have yet to have a tower-cap farm of my very own.

They could be dark brown

Wonder what kind of texture such a thing would have. High quality to be sure since there's no branches
