Fungus Humongous

Basic Information

While some fungi can grow fairly large, a Fungus Humongous is a fungus that is truly gigantic - as large as people or even trees, leading to entire forests consisting entirely out of huge mushrooms. This seems to be particularly common in underground caverns.

Game and Story Use

• Giant fungi give you an easy way to come up with an unusual scenery while functionally still being similar to a forest environment.
• In some cases, the fungi will be inhabited by people - who simply have to carve out their dwellings instead of constructing them.
  • And perhaps the Fungi Humongoi will be Magic Mushrooms as well.
    • Maybe they scatter their spores each spring - with interesting side effects on the inhabitants. Visitors should probably stay away during that time. Not that that ever stopped player characters…
