Violet Fungus

Violet Fungus

This purplish mushroom uses root-like feelers growing from its base to creep across cavern floors. The four stalks protruding from a Violet Fungi's central mass are used to lash out at prey, rotting flesh with the slightest touch. Any creature killed by a Violet Fungus decomposes rapidly. A new Violet Fungus sprouts from the moldering corpse, growing to full size in 2D6 days.
