Myconid

Myconids were a race of fungus creatures.

Description
The myconids communicated telepathically, using spores which they blew from their mouths. Variants of these spores could also be used offensively, although they were not violent creatures and were, in fact, known to share their territory.

Society
The Oasis of the Stone King, where Drizzt Do'Urden once dwelt, was home to a small community of myconids.

A group of about 370 myconids dwelled in the Lowerdark city of Fluvenilstra under the leadership of Meln, their sovereign. Although the myconids appeared to do nothing, they actually controlled the city's defense force of shambling mounds, phantom fungi, assassin vines, and other plant monsters.

Colonies of myconids were also known to make their homes within the giant fungus known as Araumycos.
