Crimson Stem
Crimson Stem is the Nether equivalent of a log — tall fungal columns from crimson forests with deep red outer skin and pale pink interior.

Description
Crimson Stem rises in the crimson forest biome of the Nether as a tall, perfectly straight column — not technically a tree, but a fungal structure that performs the same role. The outer surface is a saturated red with subtle vertical striations; stripping the bark with an axe exposes a pale pink, almost salmon, cross-section that contrasts strongly with the original. Four stems compress into one crimson hyphae block (the bark-on-all-sides version), and a single stem yields four crimson planks on the crafting grid.
Unlike Overworld trees, crimson growth cannot be propagated from a sapling. Players plant a crimson fungus on crimson nylium, then apply bone meal to force it into a huge crimson fungus, which can be harvested for stems, shroomlight, weeping vines, and nether wart blocks. The material is fully fire-resistant — lava and fire do nothing to it, and furnaces will not accept it as fuel — making it the safest large-scale construction wood for any structure built directly above lava lakes.
