Crimson snare, Velvet vine, Howling
Extremely rare, infamous climbing vine with ivy-like, dark-red velvety leaves, the color of which comes from the iron it soaks up through its roots. Only grows on corpses and iron-rich ore in the light of shimmer crystals. Blooms with clusters of little delicate pinkish-white flowers, which takes ages to mature into seeds that are forbidden to sell and trade for. Has harmful hallucinogenic properties that can be used for torture purposes. Easily over-dosed and lethal, with potential for permanent neurological damage. It's commonly referred to as Howling, for said reasons.
Seaweeds
Edible, nutritional and easy to grow. A staple in most people's diets.
Walkweed
Looks like a plant and is categorized as such, but its bizarre behavior makes you question if it's sentient. It looks like a generic, thorny bush with no leaves that just happens to be attached to carcases, which are dragged along and slowly consumed as it searches for other bio-masses to move on to. Blooms spectacularly with large camellia-like, pink flowers after extended periods of finding no prey when it's about to perish. The berries stink of rot, but are technically edible. Moves intermittently at a couple of feet an hour, which is pretty fast for a plant.

Lady cap
White and delicate five-feet tall mushroom with a thin stem and brittle hat, which promptly folds up at touch. The underside is a blushing pink with an eerie, gentle glow, which fades upon maturing and releasing spores. Some experience a mild relaxing sensation upon ingesting glowing specimen raw.
Blue prong
Has a thick stem, which commonly splits into two, hence the name. The rather small cap in young specimen is black, but fades into a drab blue-grey when mature. Small, mildly toxic but makes for an edible filler in a stew when cooked.
Red clot
Probably poisonous, slimy goop that thrives in humid areas and likes to climb upwards. It's bio-luminescent in hues of red, which is the only useful property it has. Has a slight chemical odor. Easy to propagate. Are you having intrusive thoughts? Why would you touch it?
Don't touch it.
