(In the case of the Cradle, perhaps some Insane Imagination, but it's not my place to judge your "issues". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I meant the first paragraph or two though;"In the dark and moistened places of the world, life takes on a sinister cast. Things that grow like plants yet shun the light of the sun hold sway in these rancid reaches, often resoirting to parasitism or worse in order to survive. The most wretched of these are the beloved children of Zuggtmoy, Demon Queen of Fungi."It just struck me as funny, the process in writing a flavor filled section, about a Fungal Demon. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I can just picture a cultist on a streetcorner, screaming "fear the mushrooms!".In addition, rather than ignoring the Fungi mantle, the article embraced it and made it fun and spooky, IMO. "Zuggtmoy has long struggled with maintaining viable cults on the Material Plane. The main problem is simple - most humanoids would have little interest in worshipping fungi." Rather than just saying "she's a demon, evil people follow her!"I think the big difference between this and previous Demonomicon articles, is that Fraz or Pazuzu are easier fiends to make cool.</blockquote>
