Ebonlake Grotto (also known as the Myconid Colony) is a location within the Underdark in Act One. It is the home of the Myconid Circle, a group of mushroom-like telepaths led by Sovereign Spaw, which serves as a  Waypoint:

• Underdark - Myconid Colony X: 102 Y: -101

Overview

Myconid Minefield

In the south-east area of the grotto, this area contains many dangerous mushrooms such as Timmask, Bibberbang and Torchstalk. Setting off fire spells or torchstalks in this area can cause a chain reaction of explosions.

Giant Bird Nest

South-west of the grotto, this unnamed area is unremarkable save for the empty giant bird nest.

Guardian Gate

As reward for the quest Defeat the Duergar Intruders, Sovereign Spaw will unlock the gate. It can otherwise be destroyed to enter the room beyond, but not lock-picked. Inside is some loot and a Pale Corpse which can be spoken to with  Speak with Dead.
