Arceuthobium campylopodum
Arceuthobium campylopodum is a species of dwarf mistletoe known as western dwarf mistletoe. It is native to the low to moderate elevation coniferous forests of western North America. It is a common parasite of several species of pine tree, including Jeffrey Pine, Ponderosa Pine, and Coulter Pine. The dwarf mistletoe is a greenish-yellow structure above the bark of the tree, while most of the plant is beneath the bark. Seeds mature during the fall and disperse to nearby trees.

gollark: This was useful once when a draconic reactor explosion accidentally destroyed the entire spawn area on one server I was on, but the storage stuff had a dedicated spatial IO unit and could be sent to a backup site in the End.
gollark: GTech™ standard policy is to have the main ME controller/storage/crafting CPU stuff in one area and then run a bunch of wires out for machinery.
gollark: You get more side-product outputs for slightly more power/processing time.
gollark: Consider auxiliary sieves though. They're basically free apart from needing somewhat more pulverizers and power.
