I-Starfish inqanyuliwe ikhula ekwindla ngamaqembu noma “izindandatho zabathakathi”. Ikakhulu kudoti enhlabathini ene-alkali ngaphansi kwezihlahla ze-coniferous kanye nama-deciduous.
Kusukela ngo-August kuya ekwindla, ikhula emahlathini aluhlaza kanye nama-coniferous. Njengoba izithelo zingaboli kanzima, ama-specimens amadala angatholakala unyaka wonke.
Umzimba othela izithelo uqala ukukhula emhlabathini. Kamuva, igobolondo eliqinile elinezendlalelo ezintathu liyaphuka futhi (ngenxa yokumuncwa okuhlukile kwamanzi) liyaphambuka liye ezinhlangothini. Ama-blades ngamanye aqala ukusonteka njengoba umzimba othela izithelo uphuma emhlabathini.
Ingxenye yangaphakathi ifana nomzimba we-fruiting we-raincoat: nxazonke, ngaphandle kwesiqu, efakwe egobolondweni elincane lephepha, ngaphakathi lapho izinhlamvu zivuthwa khona; kamuva baphume ngembobo phezulu.
I-pulp iqinile. Ukunambitheka nephunga akuzwakali.
Amakhowe okudla. Ivela kuyaqabukela.
