Fungus

A fungus (NaN undefineds) was a type of vegetation that included mushrooms, toadstools, and molds.

History
238 DR was known as the "Year of Many Mushrooms." During this time prevalent damp weather and rotting diseases all across northern Faerûn promoted rampant growth of mushrooms. Trade in harvested mushrooms and mushroom-related products (especially fried ones in salted gravy) became prevalent. And reports of myconid sightings became more common.
