Empowered Cloak of the Decomposer
Wondrous item (cloak), uncommon (requires attunement by a circle of spores druid)
This cloak has living fungus growing on it--mushrooms, mildews, molds, and others. The mushrooms seem to replenish at a quickened rate if removed, though the mushrooms do not last long when removed from the cloak, instead turning to dust and spores. This natural collection of fungus makes hiding in natural surroundings much easier.
Wisdom (Perception) checks to see you in natural settings have disadvantage (or -5 to Passive Perception). Also, once per Long Rest as a Ritual, you may summon a Myconid Sprout from one of the mushrooms growing on the cloak. The Sprout acts as a familiar as described in the wizard spell, Find Familiar. Only one Myconid Sprout may be active at a time.
Furthermore, the wearer becomes poisonous. Any successful bite attack against the attuned wearer requires the attacker to make a DC 16 CON save or gain the Poisoned condition for one hour and take 2d6 poison damage. Any creature that succeeds on a swallow attack on the attuned wearer must make a DC 20 CON save or immediately expel the wearer.
The attuned wearer gains resistance to Poison damage and advantage on any poison saves.
The attuned wearer can use the spores of the cloak to create animating spores (1/long rest). The wearer targets one corpse of a humanoid or a Large or smaller beast within 5 feet of it and releases spores at the corpse. In 24 hours, the corpse rises as a spore servant. The corpse stays animated for 1d4+1 weeks or until destroyed, and it can’t be animated again in this way. Only one creature may be animated by the wearer at a time.
Finally, the attuned wearer can use their wild shape ability to change into a Plant type creature of the appropriate challenge rating.

Distress Spores. When the myconid takes damage, all other myconids within 240 feet of it can sense its pain.

Rapport Spores (3/Day). A 10-foot radius of spores extends from the myconid. These spores can go around corners and affect only creatures with an Intelligence of 2 or higher that aren’t undead, constructs, or elementals. Affected creatures can communicate telepathically with one another while they are within 30 feet of each other. The effect lasts for 1 hour.
History
Illevaere woke one morning to find their cloak gone. The sprout had dragged it outside and buried it and when it was recovered, it had grown and flourished in power.
Significance
The cloak is considered by Illevaere to be a gift from Caena, believing that they were directed by the goddess to find the cloak and they made an altar to Caena at the sight where the cloak was found.
