Hollow filaments in the core of each strand allows the fungus to self-regulate enough to survive above or below water, but variable temperatures, chemical exposure and physical stress prevents corocylene from spreading very far or recovering from damage very quickly. If a piece of the colony suffers enough damage or is exposed to too much stress, the affected strands die, contracting tightly as all of the nutrients are dispersed at once to aid in later re-propagation. | Hollow filaments in the core of each strand allows the fungus to self-regulate enough to survive above or below water, but variable temperatures, chemical exposure and physical stress prevents corocylene from spreading very far or recovering from damage very quickly.

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 as [[corochi]].
