ABOUT

Brobdingnagian (Brob-ding-nag-ian) fungi stand between 12-16 feet tall and appear as simple oversized mushrooms. Their appearance belies their carnivorous nature. They are normally found near watering holes and lush environments where prey is plentiful. About 25% of the time the putrid stench of rotting flesh will permeate the fungi in a 20 foot radius. Sages believe they are distantly related to violet fungi.

When brobdingnagian fungi sense movement, they attack with four long tendrils released from the underside of their caps and emit a pulsating violet bioluminescence.

These giant mushrooms often attract other forms of fungi to their vicinity. There is a 10% chance of one of the following in a cluster of brobdingnagian fungi: faze fungus, basidirond, shrieker, or phycomid.
