Is there somewhere I can find prices for the Slimes, Molds, and Fungi from the DMG page 76?
A friend already directed me to the Slime Hurl spell from Champions of Ruin (page 35) which will do if it must.
Edit: Thanks to Stannum (IV) for making me aware of Mold Touch (PGtF106), Slime Pot (BoVD116), and the Box of Brown Mold trap (DMG71).
I've found plants both dangerous and beneficial in Dragon 357 (page 52), Complete Scoundrel (page 118), Magic of Faerun (page 43), and Dragon 347 (page 43).
My character is building a garden mostly for fun while my DM's next character is going to be a Druid whose gardening will be for offense and defense.
More sources of growable items would be more than appreciated. Thanks regardless Playground.
Edit: So, from what I gather these can all be made via True Creation. Hmm. Perhaps a Living Spell of a creation spell that makes a given plant?
Jowgen's list found here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?479663-Magical-Plants-and-Where-to-Find-them-WIP) is much more comprehensive.

- Lichbriar
Can reach a length of up to 50 feet, spreads like ivy but thorn-ed, blossoms resemble iridescent white roses, In order for a lichthorn to grow, it must sink its myriad hooks into a living creature, and as the vine grows an increasing number of hooks embrace its helpless victim. As the hooks spread, so too do the plant's thorns, with more scratching and impaling themselves in the victim each day, introducing ever increasing levels of poison. Lichbriar is not a particularly strong plant and has no motive ability. In order for lichbriar to take root and feed, its victim must remain still for at least one day to allow the plant to latch on with its hooks. A victim who is not immobilized can attempt to struggle free on the fust day by making a DC 5 Strength check. The DC of the check increases by +5 every day until it reaches DC 20, at
which point it increases by +2 per day thereafter. Failing the Strength, check results in the victim being pinned, as if grappled. With every attempt a victim makes to escape he takes 1d6 points of damage from the thorns and is injected with poison (injury; Fort DC 14 initial and secondary damage 1d2 Strength + 1d4 Dexterity). Beginning on the second day, as long as the lichbriar remains attached to its victim, it draws away life energy in the form of experience points. On the second day (the first day of XP drain), the lichlbriar steals 10 XP. The number of XP drained doubles each day (20 XP on the third day of taking root, 40 XP on the fourth day of taking root, and
