Awesome, thank you for the feedback, Chris!
A mountain sized mushroom can always only exist one at a time (when triggered) and only for a few hours, after they will transform back into their original form. All mushrooms are connected through a Mycelium link, that can be physical but is mostly a non-physical energy network on a different plane of existence. An overly large mushroom would be just as large as a Stone Golem (no idea how tall Golems are but I assume like 2-3 meters). Most mushrooms are smaller than that and around the size of men. Some are barely visible spores and micro-mushrooms.
I would love to see some maps and learn more about the mushroom lore you already have.
And yes, they are clearly ancient creatures who precede most other life, even though they have been long forgotten and survived only in myths and fables, until they finally reappeared.
I love it! I'm actually very familiar with the way mushrooms grow :)
I can see that being a big part of the story; awesome that you'll be helping out with the mycelial storyline!
I stand corrected on the mountain thing. With one intelligence for their whole kind, they could concentrate their energy into the growth of a *super fruit... Endless possibilities. I don't have much so far in the way of mushrooms, other than that they originate in the Mushroom Forest. So it's wide open! :D
Do you have a map to share?
hey guys! I once ordered a mushroom warrior to be printed by @evilhippie and paid for it in steem! check it out https://steemit.com/miniatures/@evilhippie/the-myconid-barbarians-are-coming-2 . He's pretty cool....definitely more of a grunt than a boss mushroom! But still....just thought Id chime in with that : ) Its very cool to see the myconids beginning to emerge in to the splintersphere!
Woah, that is so cool! Thanks for sharing it. We should get an illustration version of that at some point. You see that @kayrex? Take it as some inspiration for the next fanart.
yay! do it! He will be so proud! :D
