Myconids

Myconids are intelligent, ambulatory Fungi that live in The Underdark, seek enlightenment, and deplore violence. If approached peacefully, Myconids gladly provide shelter or allow safe passage through their Colonies.

Circles and Melds

The largest Myconid in a Colony is its Sovereign, which presides over one or more social groups called circles. A circle consists of twenty or more Myconids that work, live , and meld together.
A meld is a form of communal meditation that allows Myconids to transcend their dull subterranean existence. The Myconids rapport spores bind the participants into a group consciousness. Hallucination spores then induce a shared dream that provides entertainment and social interaction. Myconids consider melding to be the purpose of their existence. They use it in pursuit of higher consciousness, collective union, and spiritual apotheosis. Myconids also use their rapport spores to communicate telepathically with other sentient creatures.

Myconid Reproduction

Like other Fungi, Myconids reproduce by mundane sporing. They carefully control their spores release to avoid overpopulation.
