Homebrew Fungshroom Species Details

It is said that Fungshrooms came from a much smaller race of mushroom creatures who came upon a patch of land laden with magic and rich in nutrients. After several generations, the early Fungshrooms' size and intelligence grew exponentially and became the Fungshrooms known today. 

Fungshroom society consists of numerous small villages in forests or swamps, often formed by older Fungshrooms who are successful in their endeavors. These villages often run into conflict with each other whenever new villages are formed, established villages set up affiliate villages, or when resources are scarce. The goal of these conflicts is never to kill others but to gain more land or to take over other prosperous villages. A few Fungshroom can still be found in Dwarven towns, often fitting in perfectly with the local population and serving as a connection between the two societies.

Most Fungshrooms hold little attachment to their place of sprouting and are frequently known to leave their village for one reason or another.
