Ears of Apollo

The Ears of Apollo is a plant-like organism discovered by Sara Mugnez in the 2018 expedition to the Trappist Solar System. Its name is derived for its nature of bio-luminescence, and named after the god of sun and light - Apollo.

Biology
The Ears of Apollo are mushroom-like organisms, growing in small clusters alongside subterranean cave walls.

From what little is studied on the vegetation, their key detail is their ability to emit a reddish, pulsating glow whenever it senses quick movements from other organisms. The reasons behind this adaptation is unclear, and scientists range from it being a luring tactic to capture prey, to a defense mechanism, to a means of communication.
