Myconids are a peaceful species of sentient fungi found in the [[Underdark]]. Groups of myconids live in communities called circles – a collective consciousness or hivemind that communicate through a song-like telepathy, speaking in visions and music. Other species may communicate with myconids through the ingestion of airborn spores.  


They are distrustful of outsiders, but will allow shelter or passage to those who are likewise peaceful. Dangerous or violent intruders are seen as "rot".
Circles are lead by a single Sovereign, who determines the song of its people (and thus the temperament of a circle), and is able to spawn more myconid by embedding spores into a corpse and resurrecting it.


Myconids are able to spawn more of their kind by embedding spores into corpses.
As the Underdark lacks in food sources or light, myconid have evolved to sustain themselves by drinking the essence of the energy of the Underdark – the faerzress.{{ref|Dialogue with [[Glut]] while trying to leave the Underdark.}} As such, myconid cannot leave the Underdark.
