Name: Mindsbane aka Psilocybe gigantea Description: This species of mushroom has a vibrant blue/gold pattern with a wide, flat cap. While the majority of the colony wont reach above 8 inches, the occasional mushroom can grow to titanic proportions. Where is it found?: High gravity tropical environments Rarity: Pretty rare but very findable with proper environmental research Diet/Method of gaining nutrients and energy: Absorbs its nutrients from decomposing organic matter. Products?: The sheer mass of these mushrooms allows them to leak massive amounts of very potent Psilocybin (the thing that makes shrooms magical). Also, once extracted, the meat itself is very nutritious Reproduction: Spores Size: As the name implies, this mushroom is capable of reaching extraordinary heights. Specifically up to around 300ft! One example even reached a whopping 360ft! Weight: Lifespan: - While individual mushrooms (based on size) can live from 2 days - 700 years, it is unknown how long a colony of Psilocybe gigantea can live. Abilities: The clouds of spores released by Mindsbane can reach up to several miles. Any creature that breathes these spores in will very quickly begin to notice the psychedelic effects. This "magical cloud" has caused several Floran tribes to revere these titans as gods. Flaws: - Very specific environmental conditions must be met for Mindsbane to survive. If not properly cultivated and contained, it will wither almost instantly. Other: As previously mentioned, Florans sometimes revere these mushrooms as gods, to the point where some Floran priests carve their churches out of them. Always be wary of potential tribes near these mushrooms. A bunch of Florans tripping balls won't like you touching their god.
