	The Vain Oak, Thick at the trunk's base, a sprawl of gnarled roots twist into one another, as the contaminated soil prevents the tree from fully taking root. This makes a great shelter for smaller wildlife to hide within, where their droppings provide a scarce amount of nutrients. From this, the tree produces fruit early in the summer, which is blood red in color and very sweet in both smell and taste. Just as the wildlife can get drunk on the fallen, fermented fruit, a common wine is made from this tree, baring a similar name.
	Trunk Cap, A commonplace fungus, notably found growing from felled trees and most forms of dead wood. These can be picked and cooked for their peculiar texture and flavor. Their typical brown coloration varies on the season in which they are picked. They are scarce in the spring and summer, yet very abundant in the middle of the fall season.
	Eucanlycthus Pitcher, A vile-smelling plant that attacks and devours low, ground-dwelling grubs as a primary foodsource. Yet, the plant itself is a key diet for other wildlife. The roots have a high nutritional value and grows nearly year-round, otherwise the roots can be dug up in the winter months. To most species, the plant itself smells not unlike rotten meat, and has a sour, astringent taste. Any portion of the plant needs to be boiled to be properly consumed.
	Peacock Weed, Much like a larger form of dandelion, only in hues of muted blue and violet. The bulb itself is considered edible, like a large peapod, before the bulb swells to a more prominent shade and grows wispy white hairs. Since they are found growing in most fields and open areas, some people tend to cultivate them. A diligent planter could produce upwards of either harvests a year if done right.
	Morninglory Hole, This rare plant is only found in areas of constant sunlight. They bloom quickly in the spring, and are present for most of the summer season, carrying into the remaining warmth of the fall. The pollen and pistil are located within the bulb, which serves to pollinate similar to a fig plant. They are a vivid hue of purple and are known to produce a crude form of opiate. This sticky, semi-sweet ichor is toxic in its unprocessed state, which lures pollinators in, but doesn't allow them to leave.
