Underlichen is the purple one.

Underlichen is an underground floor-covering lichen, growing natively in the third cavern layer. As it is functionally a grass, grazers may feed on it.

As with the other underground grasses, underlichen only appears after a cavern containing it has been discovered. After that has happened, it may spread on any below ground soil surface or on a muddied stone surface that has not been smoothed. The amount of mud on the surface does not affect the distribution or growth rate of subterranean plants [1].

While it might appear various types of fungi grow from the underlichen, this is really just that they too grow on the same muddy floor.
