Homebrew Fungan Species Details

"i have never quite seen this combination of vileness and friendliness before, as if their harsh fate never broke them." 
Irtahas, Irtahas' Journal

The mushroom shaped creatures known as the Fungan are a peculiar lot, with an origin veiled in mystery. The story of how they came to be is noit known, not even to the Funghan themselves. Some think they are descendants from goblins that lurked into the swamps for too long, other think they are a strain of fungi that adopted to the bipedal lifestyle like many other swamp creatures. What is known about the Fungan however, is that their story is one of misfortune and versatility, as whatever the Fungan had to deal with in their existence, they found a way to survive. A Fungan grows up to be an adult quite fast in comparison to other sentient beings but also have a shorter lifespan. They adore everything that stinks, festers and rots and make it a challenge to extend the decomposition of anything edible for as long as possible.Despite their secluded lifestyle deep in the swamps, Fungan are quite welcoming to strange folk, and approach them with curiosity although they will offer resistance when feeling threatened.

Fungan Communities
Fungan live in small villages across the Fungan Marshes, building their homes out og anything they can scrap from the already unpleasant surroundings. The village is usually led by the oldest Fungan that may or may not also be the wisest.
Fungan spend their time cultivating the marshes and experimenting with the art of decay. Fungan tend to stick to their own and rarely wander outside of the swamps, making them quite and odd sight for the unfamiliar.
