Dungeon23 5/365: Mushrooms

Room 5

A family of harmless mushroom people live in a corner, sheltered by some large fungi. Three of these large fungi are Shriekers who ignore the mushroom people but will not ignore anyone else who approaches the corner.

If attacked, the mushroom people will try to run but will not otherwise defend themselves. If a mushroom person dies, it will release a cloud of spores; all who breath them save or die. Most denizens of the dungeon know this and leave the mushroom people alone.

If treated kindly, these mushroom people will offer a stew which will heal one hp for all who consume it.

The mushroom people survive by scavenging corpses throughout the dungeon and bringing them back for their fungi to consume. They feed on their fungi as well as the corpses themselves.

The mushroom people do not use names.
