Though rare in modern times due to the extreme difficulty in propagation, some [[Elgan]]s are keeping the endangered practice of [[coroweaving]] alive, producing a small amount of corocylene cloth by fastidiously managing its growing conditions, and weaving the still-living threads into fabric. | Though rare in modern times due to the extreme difficulty in propagation, some [[Elgan]]s are keeping the endangered practice of [[coroweaving]] alive, producing a small amount of corocylene cloth by fastidiously managing its growing conditions, and weaving the still-living threads into fabric. | ||
Non-industrial farms do produce enough food-grade corocylene that it can be found (with some difficulty) for sale in Biloxan markets. Once considered a regional delicacy, the lingering sour-cabbage taste of the fungus has not found great popularity on modern Krell as the cultural palette turns towards increasingly manufactured sweets - the vast majority of corocylene consumers tend to be older Elgans, who enjoy aging or pickling the strands to increase the pungent flavour as the luminescence breaks down in order to help other more piquant fruits to shine by comparison. | Non-industrial farms do produce enough food-grade corocylene that it can be found (with some difficulty) for sale in [[Biloxan]] markets.
