Myconid
Myconids are mushroom creatures, they can be found everywhere where you can find forests. Whether that be the mortal plane or other planes. They have a very moldy smell to them and a majority are addicted to any form of drugs or drug-like substances. Their body is hard like wood but their mushroom caps are soft and sensitive; It is also the main place where their spores are produced and fire out. The color of the Myconid is dependent on the variant they are.

On a successful save, the creature can't be infected by these spores for 24 hours. On a failed save, the creature is infected with a disease called the Spores of Dread that lasts until the creature is cured of the disease, dies or makes the save.
