Emminia Moss
For the Agrestifae, Emminia moss is a symbiotic relationship. The Agrestifae’s body provides the moss with a safe place to grow while it consumes the energy from light and particles from the air. Those who are not Agrestifae don’t have the evolved skin structure to support Emminia Moss which grows as deep as the muscle below the skin. Contracting an Emminia Infection is almost always fatal if not treated, as it both consumes the body and without control the moss constantly releases its poison. It is possible for those who a regularly exposed to Emminia Moss to adapt.

Emminia Moss is in a constant state of growth. Any time the host spends a Routine Path they are granted one stack of Emminia Mossing. An Emminia Mossing stack may be used as a Foraged Ration or used as a resource for Emminia Moss Branch or Stem Actions and Effects
Treatable Growth
Emminia Moss is mildly contagious, requiring 5 hours of constant contact, it will infect. The moss will continue to grow until it completely covers the host.
If 100% of it is removed by spending 30 seconds, or 6 Full Rounds for each stack of Emminia Mossing, the moss is completely disinfected. For each stack removed this way, the host takes an Erosion Injury Card with (2) Damage on it.
A host becomes fully covered at 11 or more stacks of Emminia Mossing. At this point they will begin to suffocate, and will die after 1 Minute.
Emminia Mossing Stacks
Those with this boon are often called Moss Host. The Moss Host naturally lives in balance with their Emminia Moss.
The Emminia Moss will only produce up to 10 Stacks of Emminia Mossing at a time.
Plucking does not cause damage to a Moss Host. Even if all 10 Stacks are plucked this way, the moss continues to grow.
Chewing Moss
This thick green portion of the moss has a light salty seaweed taste. A pinch of it will serve as a Foraged Ration for any action or effect a Foraged Ration may be used including gaining Minor Nourishment, staving off malnutrition, or as a crafting material for Remedies or other Recipes which require Foraged Rations.
