Horklump

The Horklump resembes a fleshy pink mushroom covered in black bristles. Originally native to Scandinavia, the Horklump is now found throughout northern Europe.

Physiology and Ecology
Horklumps spread sinewy tentacles reather than mysellium into the ground to look for their desired food of earthworms. They are fast breeders, and can cover an average garden in a matter of days. The Horklump is the favored delicacy of the Gnome. Streeler venom is one of the few known substances that can kill Horklumps.

Uses and Interactions with Humans
Horklumps have no discernible use, other than feeding gnomes. It is not known how the wizarding world views Horklumps, though Honoria's fiance was once caught in the act of fondling some Horklumps, which shocked Honoria and caused her to break off the relationship. However, the juice of the Horklump is used in healing potions and herbicide.
