Homebrew Myconid Species Details

 Researchers debate on the origin of the Myconid. Some spectulate that they evolved from common mushrooms. Some say they came as travelers from the Feywilds. Other think they came from the Elemental Chaos.

 Myconids are sentient, living Fungus. Spanning from 2 feet to 6', Myconids come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Myconids typically live in dense forests in groups called "Pods", ranging from 4 to 200 Myconids. Myconids are both Male and Female simultaneously. They mature at 10 years of age and live up to 30 years.

  Myconids can be found in a variety of environments. When they mature, young Myconids leave the Spore and set out to create a new one. Myconids reproduce through spreading spores.

  Myconids cannot talk. They instead communicate through spreading spores, allowing them to communicate telepathically with any that inhale thses spores. Myconids can only communicate, however, if they can understand the language the other party speaks.
