Scableaf

There are few specimens in the Scablands as useful as the Scableaf; an edible species of flora found just under the Scablands dirt. Completely flat and thin, it can grow quite large. Scableaf toughens to a leathery texture as it ages providing a reasonably strong material to be used, like a thick, natural tarpaulin. In addition to providing shade for you and your crew, some drifters can be seen with makeshift hoods or cloaks made of Scableaf. As a food source, it can be eaten raw or handed to a gastrotech for processing. Run your Reef Sweeper along the underside to remove the small spines before prepping, easy enough even for a kip. It keeps for a long time, so pack it with you as a ration, do not waste any of it. Scableaf has become important enough that I've heard some are even trying to domesticate it.
