I love it! I'm actually very familiar with the way mushrooms grow :)
I can see that being a big part of the story; awesome that you'll be helping out with the mycelial storyline!

I stand corrected on the mountain thing. With one intelligence for their whole kind, they could concentrate their energy into the growth of a *super fruit... Endless possibilities. I don't have much so far in the way of mushrooms, other than that they originate in the Mushroom Forest. So it's wide open! :D
