Seeing the mushrooms attack, Belkas calls upon his powers to create a bonfire on the attacking mushrooms, but behind them so the flames do not hurt his companions.

Initiative: 7
Bonfire: 8 (2d8) fire damage.
If possible he will place it so the bonfire affects more than one mushroom at a time, if not, it will be centered on the three mushrooms that are together.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Round 1
With lightning quick reflexes, Zyllith leaps ahead five feet and lands right next to Arisa. Lunging with a quick stab, she drives her rapier into Mushroom A's purple, violet mesh-like head and gives a brutal flick before retracting her blade. The attack doesn't kill the fungus, but she nearly tears off the the mushroom top with her attack, clearly doing a lot of damage.
Siobhan, who's right behind her, realizes that with the bottleneck of Vernon, Arisa and Zyllith and the there mushrooms that are just to the left of them, she can't move far enough to attack the same one. However, she sees the stalks on the mushroom just to the left of her start to move, so casting her magic that turns her club into an enchanted weapon, she bashes at Mushroom C with a very forceful blow.
Obviously sensing movement, you see that one of the mushrooms on the other side of the room, (currently 15 feet away from Vernon) begins to move slowly across the cavern floor, squishing its way over the damp stone with root-like feelers that grow from its base. It only covers about five feet of ground as it moves in a diagonal direction towards the back wall, closer to Vernon.
Suddenly, the gnome shouts his command, "LADNALF!!!!" and a bright flash of sparks and radiant light fly forth from his shield and engulfs the two closest mushrooms (A and B). The one that Zyllith hit (B) is consumed by the searing light and you watch as it collapses in on itself, burning and bubbling from the heat. The one next to Vernon is also severely damaged from the light, but it's not quite enough to destroy the strange fungus. Arisa quickly destroys it with a powerful swat of her staff.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Mushroom F begins to move as it slithers slowly across the cavern floor to get closer to Siobhan and Belkas, who casts his spell and creates a small bonfire right beneath the mushroom that Siobhan hit with her club. As the flames rise up, the fungus begins to bubble and boil and its flesh chars as the fungi is burned to a blackened pile.
One of the other mushrooms on the other side of the room begins slowly creeping across the floor towards Arisa, and it lashes out at her with two of its long stalks. Attack: 5 Damage: 7 and Attack: 13 Damage: 5
As it moves forward, the mushroom just behind it (G) slowly moves forward to take its place, and suddenly Zyllith watches as three of the creature's stalks come whipping down towards her with surprising quickness. Attack: 13 Damage: 2, Attack: 7 Damage: 7 and Attack: 21 Damage: 7
Luckily, Zyllith is able to dodge the three stalks, but one of them slaps at Arisa's torso, and she feels the stinging, acidic burn as the enzymes from the end of the stalk begin to eat away at her flesh.
(Orignal rolls changed when I edited the post. Zyllith wasn't hit, but Arisa was hit by one for 3hp Necrotic damage.)
Ok, next round. Here's the layout.
O= empty space, Letters = mushroom (5 remain), Letters in bold are you. Cave exits top and bottom.
Focusing all of her attention on the mushroom that had moved in front of Arisa, Zyllith stands as still as stone, waiting for just the right moment. When she sees it, she repeats her “stab and flick” motion on the fungus, ripping apart the top and destroying the entire organism.
Siobhan strikes out once again with her enhanced club, once again bashing at another mushroom (F) with great force and druidic magic. She doesn't completely destroy the thing, but definitely does a great deal of damage to the fungus. It responds by lashing out at her with two of its stalks, although she easily parries the attacks with her own weapon.
Vernon is up, although Arisa and Belkas can post their actions as well.
As one mushroom burns up in his bonfire, Belkas feels a flow of darkness fill him with life. Grasping his arcane focus, he casts Eldritch Blast against the mushrooms.

Dark One's Blessing: 9 temp HP
Bonfire: 9 fire damage if any mushroom is in, or passes through, it's flames.
Eldritch Blast:
15 to hit, 9 damage
14 to hit, 6 damage
If the closest mushroom is still alive he will focus on that, otherwise he will choose the next surviving closest mushroom.
Taking a couple of steps up and to the right, Vernon comes face to fungus with Mushroom H that actually towers over him by at least a foot and a half. Swinging his hammer with as much force as he can muster, he bashes a huge chunk out of the rubbery stem, although it's not enough to destroy it.
Suddenly he finds himself on the defensive, as he tries to dodge and parry the attacking stalks of Mushroom E, which is just to his left. Vernon finds that it's actually pretty to block the stalks with his shield, and any stray ones fall harmlessly on his armor.
A few feet away behind, Arisa continues to batter at Mushroom G, hitting its somewhat flexible form. She manages to damage it quite a bit, but isn't able to neutralize the fungus this round.
Belkas watches as his bonfire continues to burn and reduce the neutralized mushroom to a pile of stinking, bubbling mess. From his position behind Siobhan, he has the best view and aim towards mushrooms D and G, so he lets loose an arcane blast that causes G to explode in a mess of flying rot, and then fires his other at D. This one is not destroyed, but it's definitely damaged.
Mushrooms D and A attack Arisa and Vernon, although by now, both of you have figured out how to effectively parry their attacks, and you avoid being hit.
Once again, Zyllith remains completely still while waiting for just the right moment, and then lashes out with her weapon. In a lightning quick flurry, she tears at the mushroom and completely destroys it, then pivots her hips and torso to the right to avoid being hit by one of the long stalks as they slap down lifelessly onto the cavern floor.
A few feet behind her, Siobhan continues to swat at Mushroom F with her enhanced club. With ferocious power, the firbolg obliterates the fungus and sends wet, rotting, rubbery pieces of its flesh flying through the air, fortunately away from all of you.
With determination, and sweat pouring from his brow, due to the overall rottenly warm air in this chamber, Vernon pounds at H, but he's not quite able to finish it off. However, Arisa steps forward and whacks at the purple top and demolishes the fungus.
Only E remains, and it has not sustained any damage.
Belkas twitches his nose as the smells of diced, mashed, chopped, and broiled mushroom assaults his senses. It actually makes him start feeling hungry and wonder when they will have a chance to eat. He slams out two more Eldritch Blasts at the only mushroom still moving.
---
Bonfire: 8 fire damage if any mushroom is in, or passes through, it's flames.
With another Eldritch attack that decimates the cone like head of the organism, Belkas destroys the last mushroom as the stench of burning, rotting mold and mildew seeps into your nostrils.
“What an incredible smell you’ve discovered!” Arisa says with some wonder- her herbalist curiosity getting the best of her. (Also my May the fourth reference)
Belkas makes a face as he wipes bits of mushroom pulp off his black armor. “Attacked by walking mushrooms. I like firsts. Good or bad, they’re always memorable. Are we continuing farther into the cave?"
He peers towards the other end of the cavern trying to see what lays beyond.
(And there's my May 4th quote)

"Bloody 'ells, these salad toppars' are annoying!" Zyllith curses as she carefully lines up her rapier to strike the mushroom next to Arisa first.
