Spelljammer Flora and Space Junk

If there are astral fish, then it makes sense (in a Spelljammer way) that there are types of plants, mould, fungi and the like that they feed on and interact it. Such as Beholder's Tongue, Hamster Weed and Angelthorn.

Then there is all the wildspace flotsam and jetsam thrown out there, from fishing rods and pirate costumes to a gleaming bottle or a mossy petrified gnome.
