Okay, how about this? The article will be called vegetation, and it will focus on all sorts of "greens" (plants and fungi) in the ''Pikmin'' universe, even listing them all (background stuff like trees would receive a single sentence at most; we don't need to go crazy). The ''main'' focus of the article though would be the in-game map objects that the players can interact with. I think this is the best option we have available, but I'm all ears for suggestions. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 06:12, 3 July 2015 (EDT) | Okay, how about this?

:Vegetation sounds good to me! It is a general term, not a scientific one, so it's easily all-encompassing. On the subject of trees, I wrote a little [[Plants and fungi#Trees|section]] about them in the old "Plants and fungi" page; they are background but they are still important for providing interesting shadows to the environment. But I just thought of a way they are more important: stumps. One or more stumps exist in almost every area, and they give the gameplay verticality; without them, the landscape would be much flatter. So if we're going as far as explaining static terrain, stumps are more important than the full-fledged trees in the background.

::Mhm, agreed. I can't believe I'm actually excited for an article about ''plants'' of all things :D. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 08:44, 3 July 2015 (EDT) | ::Mhm, agreed.
