Homebrew Mushroomfolk Species Details
The Underworld is teeming with danger and death. The ravenous and unrelenting darakhul seek domination over everything in their path. The inscrutable madness of the derro make them dangerous to creatures in reach of their domain. The calculating and dispassionate drow put their own survival above everything else. With so many inhospitable, or openly evil, forces at play in the Underworld, one race lives a more-or-less peaceful life in the depths of the world: the mushroomfolk.
