This incredibly sturdy fungus isn't really immortal, but it appears to be. Once it reaches adulthood it keeps its shape, always replacing dying parts with new. As long as there's one surviving cell remaining it will be able to rebuild back into the original shape. It takes nutrition from particles in the air and seems able to survive most anywhere, as long as there's warmth The latter probably explains why it has a tendency to habitate on animals. It is popular to use in japanese gardens.
