Roquezia

Roquezia is a fictional genus of fungi sometimes used in speculative fiction, particularly in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. The term often describes a class of organisms that display unusual or even impossible biological properties, such as emitting light, consuming inorganic materials, or forming symbiotic relationships with other organisms to produce specific effects.

While not a scientifically recognized genus, the term "Roquezia" may be invoked as a shorthand to denote a type of fantastical or scientifically improbable fungal growth. It is often associated with environments that are also fictional or highly modified, such as alien planets or areas affected by magical phenomena. The properties of "Roquezia" fungi are typically dictated by the narrative needs of the story in which they appear. They may serve as a plot device, a source of danger, or a key component of a unique ecosystem.
