Finally found one of our bioluminescent mushrooms! Giving huge fae vibes- made me think of you. Do the fihrie use them? To lure people astray, lay claim to things in a fairy ring, or lull wanderers to sleep? XD thank you! These are jack o lantern mushrooms btw xD
That is one damn cool mushroom!!
You know, maybe the fihrie use the mushrooms, but also the mushrooms could be fihrie. That would be fun.
They settle in the marshes and bogs. Maybe they're cousins to the Will-o'-the-Whisps. But instead of making you lose your way, the mushroom fihrie (never thought I'd type those two words in that order XD) make you hallucinate.
Or we could make it more body horror and they possess people. Maybe make them look a bit like the zombies from The Last of Us.
Fun thoughts, fun thoughts.
These kind of mushrooms are a way for the fihrie to lay claim on things. Like a 'no touchie, that's mine!' type pf thing. They could be used to mark and devide territories and if viewed from a bird's-eye-view, they would form a map.
Or maybe they're both. Like a kind of watch dog fihrie in the form of a mushroom. Because why not? And they possess people as a form of punishment, when said people touched something under their protection.
