Hazard again, I guess, but it sure seems nasty.

Hmm, well AD&D Yellow Mold is nastier. It killed immediately if the victim failed their save vs poison. Grey Mold will probably take a few rounds to kill, giving time for a cure disease or keoghtum's ointment to be applied.

The Magic Resistance is higher than Yellow Mold, but not by much (35% vs 20%).

Hmm, does the MR apply to the spores too, and thereby opposes any cure disease spell to cure the victim? I would think not, since I've never read that a Yellow Mold's spores resisted magic.

Oh, and to answer the first part. I agree it should be a Hazard.

Yeah, probably not.

Ditto that.

Well, then, swap hp damage for Con like the Yellow Mold?

That makes sense to me, just with lower Con damage.

 

[Shade]

That sounds reasonable to me too.

Maybe we should use a disease-like mechanism that does a low Con damage per hour? The AD&D Grey Mold sapped its victim's health till they die or are cured.

This is why Pathfinder afflictions are so nice!

Why not just make it a disease that has some amount of Con damage per day, then? Maybe a very short incubation period, though?

That'd be OK, I guess.
