When approached peacefully Fungifolk will very happily allow safe passage provide shelter and give advice about the surrounding area. Most time spent in a circle is devoted to melding. A meld is a form of communal meditation in which Fungifolk are able to transcend their boring underground existence. The Fungifolk have special spores called Mind spores which are used to communicate telepathically. During a meld, they use these spores to bind into a group consciousness. Hallucinogenic spores are then introduced to create a shared dream which provides social interaction and entertainment. Many Fungifolk consider this to be the sole purpose of their existence. They meld in pursuit of collective union spiritual apotheosis and higher consciousness. Fungifolk reproduce through carefully controlled sporing so as to not overpopulate the colony.

Fungifolk Names

Fungifollk do not identify as one sex or the other and thus do not have male or female names. Because Fungifolk usually communicate telepathically, they do not have names for each other, however, members of other races who are not as fond of telepathic communication will give names to their Fungifolk friends. Thus nicknames vary greatly
