Homebrew Fungi Species Details

Fungi are the children of the jungles and forests of the world. They are true children of nature, embracing the forests they call home as though each individual tree growing in the soil were a cousin or sibling. Philosophers have come to believe that they are the sentient expression of lush forests, literally made for and by the land itself. While they are predominantly loners, a small society of fungi have gathered in jungles and forests.

Fungi are a tall and thin race, typically no shorter than 7 feet in height. Despite their prodigious size, they are slight peoples and are actually rather weak given their stature. There are three types of fungi, each patterned to have different colors: the fantas are reddish-brown in complexion (with darker spots), the audires are colored much like a bright, sprouting flower and the maculous are a light tannic brown, covered in off-yellow spores. The eyes of these fungal giants are hooded by the mushroom caps that comprise their skulls, often casting shadows over their surprisingly small mouths.
