That gas could be CO2 or it could be oxygen (large patches of fungus taking in CO2 and releasing oxygen may be the reason why Underdark creatures don't suffocate), or possibly even methane... You might be able to use shrieker parts in a potion of waterbreathing, or (as mentioned) part of a Thaumaturgy potion, or as a paradoxical component of a Silence spell, or even use the shrieker cap as a sort of crude gas mask to filter out CO2 and breathe clean air.If you have some means of creating a sealed bladder of air (like a bagpipe), you could rig up a trap that, when set off, forces the air through the shrieker cap and alerts anyone within hearing distance.Of course, the shrieker caps will also make a rather stylish hat as well. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
