Balo mushroom

Balo mushrooms, or simply balos, were a type of mushroom found only on the heavily polluted Core Worlds planet Balosar. There, they were grown on farms run by the massive corporations that controlled the world and refined into the chemical ixetal cilona.

By the reign of the Galactic Empire, this was the most famous industrial operation on Balosar. The mushrooms were also edible, and the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe using balo mushrooms in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, when it was published in 35 ABY.
