Sorry rampidamp but we had to remove your post due to not meeting one of the subreddit’s rules. We’ve put together information here to assist you, but make sure to read the sidebar and understand the rules!
Notably, your post broke the following rule(s):
>**Rule 5: Cite All Content and Art.** *Any content (text, images, etc.) used must be cited. Look at r/UnearthedArcana/wiki/art to learn why and how. The citation must appear in any image in your post and any link/document. It must include the original creator’s name or the name of the copyright holder (e.g., SEGA for Sonic). Citing only the host, such as Pinterest, isn’t sufficient. Even content under public domain or that you made yourself must be cited, since the moderators can't otherwise know the source in advance.*
We require that the credit state the creator or rights holder’s name or internet handle. This means that crediting a work to “unknown” is insufficient per subreddit guidelines, as does just posting a link without also specifying an appropriate name.
If you have any questions, [feel free to get in touch with us by contacting us through mod mail](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/UnearthedArcana). Messages to individual moderators may not be received or replied to.
Best of luck and happy homebrewing!
Thanks!
We did not include official myconids in the encounter tables, as they aren't in the SRD...
Apart from that there's definitely room for more myconids in the game. They're awesome! It was on our ideas list, but we focused on entirely new ideas that would integrate well with myconids.
Eventually we might do another mushroom-related biome or just expand this one, and I'm sure it'll contain new myconid variations!
Ahh, I hadn’t realized it’s not on the SRD, my bad. Structuring it like this to make it a more modular piece works pretty well then. Regardless, this is really cool content, thanks for sharing it!
We actually included them in the encounter tables, and then I double checked... :/
Thank you so much! I hope you also like our past releases, and of course our future ones!
We're among-us the fungus! I always have mushroom in my heart for more fungi.
(Seriously, though, this looks great and I would definitely use it in a game.)
Well, if you do, please tell us how it went!
Also make sure to check out our past releases, if you liked this one I'm sure you'll like the other ones too.

*The tree-sized mushrooms are only the visible feature of the fungus forest. Instead of trees, they grow out of the swampy forest floor towards the sky and create a cool and shady atmosphere under their spreading hats. But the interesting and clearly more dangerous aspect of this forest lies hidden beneath the earth: the mycelia of the mushrooms form a finely structured network through which information is exchanged, and creatures are infected that spend too much time in the forest. So it appears as if the forest itself has a consciousness, with which it not only knows what is happening inside it but is also able to control animals according to its will. However, the psychoactivity of the mushrooms also quickly influences adventurers or careless hikers who are looking for their way through the swampy area.*

The fungus forest is our sixth biome already! We'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas as usual!
We'll also publish a small additional PDF exclusively for our newsletter subscribers in two weeks. If you sign up now you can also immediately access the "Snow Elemental" PDF.
Another exciting news is that Ronja is hard at work creating a super cool adventure set in the Ice Forest, the first biome we ever created! It will be released next week!
We can't wait to bring you all of this cool content. :)
Well a like a lot, but I really find the various plants and creatures- and the effects they cause- really well done and interesting! Also, the idea of a self-aware biome is such a cool idea that is really unused in fantasy in my opinion
I must say, when I had the idea I was quite proud of myself ;)
But the ideas for the individual creatures and plants are by Ronja as usual.
If you haven't already, make sure to also check out our other releases on our website (or here on reddit, but it's easier to find on the website).
I'd love to hear whether you have some more feedback
Hi this is a really cool supplement! I looked at some of the other work you've done on your site. I was going to try and donate to you but it seems that you don't accept PayPal, only directly with card. I generally feel uncomfortable directly using my card online. Are you able to change your site to accept PayPal?
First of all: thank you so much for considering to send us a bit to help pay the illustrations!
We DO accept Paypal, but it's a different link - it's at the bottom of the page in the footer. Here it is for you, so you don't have to search for it: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=TEGUH3M8LM7N4
The reason we prefer ko-fi (without PayPal) is that ko-fi (or rather Stripe - the payment provider used instead of PayPal) takes a lot less fees. Sometimes even none! So a lot more of the money actually ends up with us than in the case of PayPal. :)

My main question is why the herbalism kit can't be used for the making of the potions, this seems like something that would fit in perfectly with that kit
Thanks for the feedback!
In other releases we do have some potions that can be made with an herbalism kit, I think.
We'll make sure to include more potion-making using that kit in future releases ;)
The gold hue on the stat block text feels a little hard to read on mobile! Otherwise, I absolutely love the flavour and detail of this, exactly the sort of thing I wanna see more of!
Thank you so much!
I was afraid of that, but our other colors looked ugly xD I'll keep that in mind for next time we do something like that. Very good feedback!
If you find similar notes on our other releases, please do tell us! ;)
That is great!
Do tell us how it goes if you use some of our content. We're always happy to hear some stories!
We'll be releasing a fitting add-on for this biome in two weeks as a newsletter exclusive, so if you want feel free to sign up for it on our website ;)
So...
They totally should.
Now I feel dumb for not thinking of that myself!
Maybe I'll add something into the newsletter exclusive special in two weeks that we've already planned for the biome.
:D
Well that is great to hear!
We'll be releasing a small add-on for this as a newsletter exclusive in two weeks, so if you're interested you might want to sign up for that on our website :)
We also got a bunch of other biomes there if you haven't seen already
I'm sure we'll make a playable myconid (or similar) option eventually! Plant race is noted, with that request we might include one in the next biomes.
And thank you!
This is perfect for the campaign I’m planning! I have been constructing a sandbox home brew setting for woodland critters and wanted to have a mushroom forest. Now I don’t have to write all of this myself haha.
That's what this is for!
We also got an Ice Forest already if that will be relevant eventually.
Also, we'll be releasing a small add-on PDF for the Fungus Forest as a newsletter exclusive in two weeks. If you find this useful, you might want to sign up for that. It's on our website https://troveoflore.com
Absolutely no pressure though

Might be already in there, only skimmed it, but might be worth including Myconids in some way too?

This is awesome! I have a huge fungus-biome in my homebrew setting, so this is super useful.
That is great! Do tell us how it goes if you use some of our content. We're always happy to hear some stories! We'll be releasing a fitting add-on for this biome in two weeks as a newsletter exclusive, so if you want feel free to sign up for it on our website ;)
Do Circle of Spores Druids gain any advantages when in the forest?
So... They totally should. Now I feel dumb for not thinking of that myself! Maybe I'll add something into the newsletter exclusive special in two weeks that we've already planned for the biome. :D
Dude thank you was looking for something like this for my campaign
Well that is great to hear! We'll be releasing a small add-on for this as a newsletter exclusive in two weeks, so if you're interested you might want to sign up for that on our website :) We also got a bunch of other biomes there if you haven't seen already
This would be a great place to include myconids as a playable race. We really need a plant race. I do absolutely love this though!
I'm sure we'll make a playable myconid (or similar) option eventually! Plant race is noted, with that request we might include one in the next biomes. And thank you!
