Ghostcap

Basic Information

Anatomy

The Ghostcap Mushroom gets its name from the eerie pale glow they emit from the dark places where they reside, far from where the sunlight might touch them-- something that seems quite lethal to the fungi.

Genetics and Reproduction

Like all mushrooms, the Ghostcap spreads via spores. These spores are said to produce hallucinogenic results in a host, some even going as far as to claim they alter a creature's behavior that breathes them in to go the mushroom's bidding-- these claims have not been verified.

Ecology and Habitats

Due to the Ghostcap's intolerance of sunlight, this species of mushroom requires dark and damp places to survive-- places like caves.
