Nether-caps are a type of mushroom-like subterranean tree. Once fully grown, they can be designated for wood cutting and produce nether-cap logs. They often grow on muddied rock in the 3rd underground cavern layer and, once discovered, will begin to grow in any suitable environment within your fortress as well.
Nether-caps and their products are dark indigo, and they have the unique property of being naturally cold, having a fixed temperature of 10000 °U (the freezing point of water). This fixed temperature makes nether-cap wood magma-safe, except that nether-cap wood items dumped into magma are destroyed. To clarify, this means that you can use nether-cap as a substitution for metal magma-safe components for a magma pump stack. Nether-cap logs can still be burned into ash or charcoal at a wood furnace. Despite being at the freezing point, nether-cap never causes water to turn into ice.
It is unknown why underground trees like the Nether-Cap even grow. The leaves they have seem to no function. I t is speculated that the Nether Cap is the Giant Cave Spider's only predator snatching it up with its large arm like roots. Dwarves never see this as they think this is just an ordinary tree. How they are so so wrong.
