Ball shroom
Ball shrooms are round, black-and-white mushrooms that are used as the ball in most Beastieball matches. You can also pick them up from (TODO: places where they grow from) located around the world, and can throw them, which can be used to hit things or just for Beasties to volley endlessly.

Ball Dispensers
In Geo City there are ball dispensers instead of ball shrooms. These balls are made of natural rubber from Crown Farms, and are striped rather than spotted.

Ecological Functions and Story Role
TODO: review story dialogue to ensure this section is as scientifically accurate as possible
Ball shrooms are a keystone species, meaning they are a species that plays an extremely important role in the ecosystem. They are closely interrelated with Beasties and likely evolved alongside them.
Ball shrooms are the fruiting bodies of an extremely vast mycelial network, and their spores are most likely spread through volleying, making games of Beastieball an important component in the reproductive process and life cycle of this species. The mushrooms that spring up to form a net when wild matches of Beastieball occur are almost certainly part of this same network.

A major component of Reese's research in the Beastie Research Society pertains to ball shrooms. From this research, we have learned that a unique sample added to the mycelial network at one of three mushroom colonies was then present in all three mushroom colonies, strongly implying that the mycelial network extends under at least the entire region and quite possibly the entire world.
However, when testing for this sample Reese also discovers that all three samples are in very bad health. This is likely due to declining use of wild ball shrooms because of the League's mass production of rubber balls.
Connection to Rowdy Phenomenon
The ball shroom network appears to be connected to the Rowdy phenomenon.
Rowdy Beasties have often been known to attack ball-shaped objects. Rowdy Sprecko metamorphs can be found at the three mushroom colonies that Sprecko metamorphs from. This is a relatively recent development, with Rowdy Beasties mostly not seen before the network's health began declining.
The Beastie Research Society theorizes that the Rowdy phenomenon may be the ball shroom network's desperate attempt to heal itself by compelling Beasties to play more Beastieball by any means necessary.
The Missing Link
Shloom, an extinct Beastie closely related to Sprecko and its metamorphs Bongus, Illugus, and Surgus, may be the missing link between ball shrooms and Beasties.
