That's an interesting interpretation - I just took it to mean really tall and thin.

I bet there are dozens of different interpretations, though ;).  Everyone forms their own mental images.

I always thought of plump helmets as recolored common mushroom. The time it takes them to grow roughly matches up and so does their position as being the most cultivated one.

I'm looking forward to the poison arc. I wonder if elves would fall for it if we traded them some destroying angels hidden in bags of puffballs.

Naxza, Bay12er, has mandated the production of additional Fungus Art!

I'd add to the collection myself, but I can't draw at all and since I hardly draw at all, my family might get suspicious if they knew I was doodling 'shrooms.

Considering it has an anticoagulant compound, not sure if you'd want that in your drink.

It can be used for dyes though, which we are in need of more variety of. Only thing though, the colors will default to the 16 avaialble, so yea, kind of undoes its purpose.

Strange that it makes a beige dye...but hey, that adds some variety to our dye choices, right?

Maybe it could have some medical purpose, though.  Unless I'm confused about what an anticoagulant does.  Improves blood flow, right?

That is a "bleeding tooth fungus".  The 'tooth' part comes from the underside, which looks all toothy like this.
