Mycelix

The Mycelix are fungal based humanoids that enjoy heavily shaded areas or the darkness of caves. They are normally reclusive of the hustle and bustle of society and live in their own small clans but you can rarely see them adventuring through the land. Mycelix are humble, quiet people and enjoy the company of others. Together with the Dryads, they crafted the first druidic magics in the world. There are two subraces of Mycelix, the Forest Mycelix and the Cave Mycelix.

Age. Mycelix are grown in incubation pods and will stay there, immobile, for up to 5 years before they wake up and detach from the ground. They are not considered adults until they are around 70 years old and can live up to 1000 years.
Creature Type. You are a Humanoid.
Fungal Resiliency. You do not need to sleep, eat, or breathe and magic cannot put you to sleep. You can draw nutrients and energy from the soil. If you find yourself in an area with no soil or in harsh sands, you can drink water to gain this benefit. To gain the benefits of a long rest, you need to be immobile for at least 4 hours. You are conscious during this time and can still see and hear.
Tough Skin. Your tough, thick outer skin provides exceptional protection against outside forces, thanks to this, you have a base AC of 16 (DEX modifier doesn't affect this number). If you have a shield equipped, you gain those bonuses as normal. The way that your body is shaped and the different growths that occur on your torso make it impossible to wear armor.
Gift of the Forest Spirit. You gain proficiency in Arcana or Nature.
