description

The dank, sunless Underdark is a fertile breeding ground for weird and dangerous fungi.

Shrieker Fungus: If exposed to light or otherwise disturbed, mushroomlike shriekers emit a high-pitched noise that gives them their name. This wailing might alert other creatures or attract predators.
