Fungi

Fungi are a strange and, in many ways, unfamiliar type of growing things. Scholars often misclassify them as an alien variety of plant life. However, more careful studies indicate that they are a distinct type of life, neither animal nor plant. A fungus does not depend upon sunlight as plants do, nor do they appear to eat, having no mouths or visible sensory organs.

An ordinary fungus is affixed to its location, thriving in moist, decaying plant matter or attached to the shady side of a tree or crevices of stone. They spread and reproduce through tiny spores that are released into the air.

Reports of monstrous fungus creatures, perhaps animated by magic, having been reported, and not all can be easily discredited. The origin of such creatures is a mystery.
