TTRPG creations: Murderous mushrooms what to lick.

I love mushrooms, fungi and all things toadstool, they bring back flickering, thin memories of running through pine forests with my brother. Hooting and hollering, swinging sticks as imaginary swords zigzagging from the path into the woods. Light dappled underbrush thick with pine needles and cones, my grandmother watching with a careful owl eye making sure we didn't stray. Packs of kangaroos watching in the distance, ears alert and flicking. 

Mushrooms have a sense of alien wonder about them, the variety of colours, patterns, smells and tastes. The caps and gills, the way they grow, shrink and move. They conjure images of goblins, pixies, sprites and gnomes. 

I cooked up a quick creation table for all of your fungi needs!
