[edit] Appearance
The Xen Fungi are massive fungi similar to Earth's own fungi. They appear in slightly different ways. Some are slightly shorter and stouter, whereas one noteworthy subspecies deviates from the standard appearance by possessing a somewhat whitish coloration, and a rib-like design running down the "trunk", rather than the usual plated scale design.
[edit] Use by the Xen armies
One notable Fungus seen in the Half-Life chapter "Interloper" seems to have been modified by the Xenians for their own use. It seems to be built as a sort of makeshift elevator for use by the Xenians. When Gordon Freeman reaches the underground base of this tree, he can use his crowbar (or any other weapon) to shatter the webbing holding it into place, causing it to sink deep into the ground. This in turn allows Freeman to get on the top and hitch a ride as it rises again moments later.
Other Fungi have been sighted inside the Xen base, clearly cut down for lumber.
