Homebrew Fungoid Species Details

Long ago, wizards cast open a portal to the feywild.

Many things emerged from the portal, including this strange bunch of sapient mushrooms.

Reclusive and mysterious, though told to be truly kind.

Sapient Fungus

The fungoid are a race of fungi granted sentient though.

They have short, stubby limbs and broad hats.

Their bodies vary in size from tall, skinny ones at 4ft, to smaller stubbier ones at 3ft.

They're a beige, mushroom fleshy colour nearly entirely, except for their caps, which vary in colour from pale brown to most bright colours.

 

Reclusive but Generous

Most fungoid live deep in forests, rarely in groups of more than 3. They are most often just alone, making places for themselves.

Rarely do they leave these abodes, but when they do, they often become herbalists or alchemists, bringing with them the knowledge of the forests.

They are often very simple minded and trusting, to the point of naivety.

Fungoid Names

Fungoid don't have always names, as they are only used by other races, so those who encounter the fungoid are often the ones who name them.
