dfcaverns.doc.cave_moss_usage = S("Cave moss has no known uses aside from the faint glow it emits. It dies when exposed to bright light sources such as the Sun.")
dfcaverns.doc.floor_fungus_desc = S("Floor fungus produces a thin, slick film that spreads through the cracks of broken rock. Its ability to subsist on the tiniest traces of nutrients means it's found in relatively harsh underground environments.")
dfcaverns.doc.floor_fungus_usage = S("Floor fungus has no known uses. It can penetrate deeply into cobblestone constructions if an infestation gets hold, but it is difficult to transport and is inhibited by light so it hasn't spread beyond the deep caverns.")
dfcaverns.doc.glow_worms_desc = S("Glistening strings of silk hang from the ceilings of some of the larger caverns, lit by the millions of tiny bioluminescent worms that spun them. Glow worms prey on the insects they lure and entangle with their faux starry sky - and sometimes the occasional bat or other larger flying beast.")
dfcaverns.doc.glow_worms_usage = S("Glow worms can be harvested and used as a source of light but they die when exposed to light significantly brighter than themselves or when immersed in water. A colony of glow worms hung in a hospitable environment will undergo a modest amount of growth, allowing it to be divided and propagated.")
dfcaverns.doc.snareweed_desc = S("A nasty kelp-like plant that grows in patches on the floor of the Sunless Sea. Its reflective patches draw in the unwary and then its prickly barbs catch and hold small creatures.")

dfcaverns.doc.dripstone_desc = S("The iconic stalactites and stalagmites found in caverns are composed of flowstone (or 'dripstone' in the case of these formations). Moist dripstone is still undergoing growth, whereas dry dripstone is found in 'dead' caverns once the source of water that created them ceases.")

dfcaverns.doc.big_crystal_desc = S("Monolithic crystals of this size form only over extremely long periods deep underground, in large long-lived cavities that allow them room to grow. Water and the life it hosts tend to disrupt the formation process of these crystals so they're only found in dry environments.")

dfcaverns.doc.quarry_bush_desc = S("A rare breed of fungus from deep underground that produces a bushy cluster of rumpled gray 'blades'. The biological function of these blades is not known, as quarry bushes reproduce via hard-shelled nodules that grow down at the blade's base.")

dfcaverns.doc.black_cap_desc = S("The dense black wood of these mushrooms is heavy and hard to work with, and has few remarkable properties.")
dfcaverns.doc.black_cap_usage = S("Aside from the artistic applications of its particularly dark color, black cap wood is a long-burning fuel source that's as good as coal for some applications. Black cap gills are oily and make for excellent torch fuel.")
dfcaverns.doc.blood_thorn_desc = S("Blood thorns are the most vicious of underground flora, as befits their harsh environments. Found only in hot, dry caverns with sandy soil far from the surface world's organic bounty, blood thorns seek to supplement their nutrient supply with wickedly barbed hollow spines that actively drain fluids from whatever stray plant or creature they might impale.")
