Crimson roots are a non-solid "plant" block that generate naturally on nylium and soul soil in few Nether biomes. They resemble a colony of tall, thin mushrooms.
Obtaining
Breaking
Crimson roots can be mined instantly with any tool. They drop themselves when broken. Flower pots containing crimson roots drop both the flower pot and crimson roots when broken.

Post-generation
Applying bone meal to crimson nylium causes crimson roots to appear on nearby crimson or warped nylium. There is also a low chance for bone meal applied to warped nylium to generate crimson roots.
Usage
Decoration

Crimson roots are decorative blocks. They can be planted on the same blocks that crimson fungi can be placed on. Crimson roots can be planted in a flower pot, which gives them a different texture.
Composting
Crimson roots can also be used on a composter, with a 65% chance of increasing the level by 1.
