Phycomid

Phycomids () were a type of subterranean fungus creature that could be dangerous to adventurers.
==Description==
Phycomids resembled white, fibrous blobs of decomposing matter with capped fungi growing out of them.
==Biology==
Within several clusters of a phycomid's body were sensory organs that detected heat, sound, and vibrations.
==Combat==
When attacking prey, phycomids discharged a highly alkaline substance in small globules from a tube-like appendage. This substance could potentially infect the targeted creatures, causing them to sprout mushroom-like growths that gradually spread throughout their body.
==History==
In the mid-14 century DR, several yak caravans and their drivers were found dead in Ra-Khati due to phycomids.
==Ecology==
===Habitats===
Beyond Toril, phycomids could be found within the Underdark of the planet Krynn.
In the Abyss, they could be found in Shedaklah, the Slime Pits, 222nd layer of the Abyss.
===Usages===
Phycomids were one of many types of fungi that hook horrors were known to feast upon.
Some drow were known to install phycomids in locations to act as traps.
