Possibly the oldest living organism in the Faerun, the fungus predates the empires of the elves. It cannot reach beyond the borders of the forest above it and pieces of it taken away quickly die, so it may be magically or symbiotically tied to the forest. While susceptible to fire, acid, and similar attacks, it is immune to magic and no endeavor has eradicated much of it for long. In fact, it sometimes unleashes mental attacks upon its aggressors. Occasionally entire portions die, revealing ruined cities or colonies of fungus-folk, but the cause and origin of the growth remains unknown. <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/fr/underdark" target="_blank">http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/fr/underdark</a> A patch could be surviving in the Dalelands.The stuff grows over the opening the players go thru so there's no going back. Myconids could help or hinder, depending on how they handle the situation. Anyway, thats just off the top of my head with the fungus idea. More later if I think of something.</blockquote>
