Darkscape Mushrooms
Darkscape mushrooms are marbled grey mushrooms. They are nature’s response to an incursion from the outer planes, and a character proficient in Arcana, Nature, or herbalism kit can identify them and their nature (no check required). Darkscape mushrooms can be consumed to cure a creature of gibberslug infestation, and also act as deadly poison if ingested by gibberlings, inflicting 26 (4d10 + 4) poison damage.
Gibberlings’ terrible wailing can be heard for miles. These leering, furry abominations are spawned from captives by an ancient brood mothers.
