Lumins
Lumins are the Holiest of the Holy as far as scholars can determine. The presence of even one will sometimes derail and entire colony's current activities and the whole area gathers around them and they appear to hold some kind of reverent communion with the Lumins, the sporemist becomes so thick that only the eerie glow of the Lumin can be seen. They colony remains transfixed like this for many hours, up to a day has been observed. No research or evidence has clarified if they are helpless in this state. After this initial "ceremony", the Lumin seems to be ignored, allowed to wander through the colony, and spreading its spores as it travels.
The extent of the Lumin Sporechatter is unknown, but obviously Communication and Alarm are present, as with all Myconid, but only a spore that gave birth to blooms with only Puffballs (who in turn, seem to seed blooms that favor the Agarite sub-species in number) have been observed beyond those. Their glowing qualities has been reported as being steady in brightness, with little to no variation, and lights up an area nearly 40 feet across (triple that in the complete darkness of subterranean areas). The color variation seems to be random, but only 3 Lumins have ever been observed, and there may be some larger pattern that scholars cannot account for at this time. It is not known if they are formed from blooms or if they are, in what quantities, but only individual Lumins have been counted.
