Fungi are perfectly capable of carrying out this task, as are the plants themselves when they switch from daytime photosynthesis to nocturnal aerobic respiration. Not only did this allow his cape to become dramatically tattered, presumably his *ahem* bodily materials would become normal once they passed outside the field too. While they're supposedly .

Titania admits that she included that error on purpose so Vlad would know for sure that it really was All Just a Dream. Real life horses have over 3.
