Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but fungi aren't part of the plantae regnum and so are not flora.

Nice art though.

[bmaczero]

Aww, I didn't think of that .  Time to find a new title!

These are some good idea, guys, thanks .

Draw a plump helmet!

technically, they are underground plants.

Bonus points for Plump Helmet Men tending it.

Have you ever read City of Saints and Madmen? Because that's essentially what you just suggested, except with less nightmare fuel.

[Acanthus117]

No, I haven't. Will keep my eye out for a copy/ask a friend to get one for me/whatever.

Also, why do they call it goblin-cap or whatever?

Because it grows where goblins have died, of course.

Actually i think it's because their tops are red and goblins now can have red hair.

i can't stop thinking of redcaps when i read goblincap

the drawings are a nice start, but all standard grocery-mushrooms...  There's only so much you can do with that shape, but they actually come in tons of shapes.

Some have weird gills, some are shaped like ears, or have inverted caps;  some are really brainy, bloody, blobby, spiky...  I bet tunnel tubes would be trumpet-shaped like this.

inverted caps

Hey, thats the Dimple Cup right there! Right down to the dark blue.

Edit: Actually, if it were larger, it would definetly be a real world look-alike as that pic looks like its maybe golfball size.

Shrooooooommssss....

On a related note, the artwork's great, but maybe a bit alike.

bloody

First thing come to my mind while watching this photo: similiar to some... things from Codex Seraphinianus. I always knew that fungi are suspicious.

I think that's just because I did all the "cap"s on this page, which are all standard mushrooms.  The next page should have a lot more variety with Tunnel Tubes, Blood Thorns, Spore Trees, and Fungiwood .

Nice links, though, thanks!

[Corona688]

No problem.  I failed to find some of the really weird ones for you sadly, like the ones with veils etc.

[Vercingetorix]

Interesting fact, once you breach a given cavern layer the trees from that layer start growing elsewhere.  I've got a bunch of black-caps and goblin-caps growing five feet from the entrance to my fortress right next to the sunny outdoors.  Kind of useful because it diversifies my wood sources.

I always assumed that tower caps were something like this, but with a shallower cap, thicker stalk, and a crinkled top edge that resembled crenelations, like on a tower.  Sorta like a humongous Rook made of fungus.
