Yes, because boreholes generally cause more fungal blooms!

Impaler - Silly energy-weenie. Xenofungus is pink because the fungus, normally gray, becomes pinkish when saturated with Morganite blood.
The mindworms love the extra iron, btw. Makes them downright frisky!
Fluffy vigorously wags his pseudopod 'head'. YUM YUM!
Perhaps we can teach you this personally?

Sigh. Ok. Why is the fungas pink? Because it is watered with the enemy's blood ... Like anybody would believe that morgans have red blood.
And feel free to put as many boreholes as you wish at where the fungas is. And you know that they will come back to haunt you ...Be good, and if at first you don't succeed, perhaps failure will be back in fashion soon. -- teh Spamski

Firstly Blood stains (be they Morganic or from some other faction) will turn brown after a short time.
Secondly Fungus dose not Photosythisis so why would it be green?
Third, if you add some thing Red to something green the resulting color is not Pink but some shade of Brown.
Forth if the colore is due to blood, why then is Planet covered in Pink ZenoFungus BEFORE humans land on it as was reavealed by the Unities long range sensors.
Clearly the Gaians are unable to do even the simplest research of the planets native life and refuce to admit their Ignorance to the fact that Xenofungus is infact pink and resort to Ad Homini attack instead. Their arguments that Xenofungus fields should be preserved for scientific reserach is Moot if they the so called "Ecologists" are unable to perform said reserach. I sugjest they spend more time training their scientists and less time running naked through the Fungs inhaling its Halucinigenic vapors!
Properly trained Morgan Construction teams would likly make more usefull discoveries about the Xenofungus (such as profitable Pharmisuticals) as they clear territory for agricultural and mining activities. We would ofcorse preserve samples and intensivly study the Fungus in our labs and provide sample to any other faction that requests them, for a fee ofcorse.Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators, the creator seeks - those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. - Thus spoke Zarathustra, Fredrick Nietzsche

First: Color of the fungus comes from absorbed Morganite blood, and it is there decomposed and use as source of iron, which is abudantly stored in fungus cells, thus providing pink-red color (depends on the origin of the blood).
Second: No it does not, it gets energy via nitrofication and nitrofixation.
Third: Red is not being added to anything green (as you must have seen in point two ).
Fourth: What do you think happenned to Progenitors? Every time they land, they got erm, devoured.
Clearly Morgans are mumbling stupidities and I suggest feeding Impaler to mindworms!

Second how do you know that the appearance of the Planet covered in "Pink ZenoFungus" before humans land on it is not an illusion caused by the planet's unique bioenvironment? We have all heard about tales of mindworm's ability in influencing human minds ...
Third some shade of brown you say? I think the fungus does look somewhat brownish sometimes. Yes that kind of brownish resulted from old Morgan blood mixed with a potential green ...
Forth let me make it more accurate. The color of fungus is really crimson. Not pink, not exactly brown either. But crimson, yes, the color of old Morgan blood.
