Bleeding Tooth
Bleeding teeth are white fungal monstrosities covered in pores oozing a blood-red liquid. They possess a hulking ogre-esque body with thick, trunk-like limbs. Bleeding teeth lack a defined head and face, though a large bulge does connect their "shoulders". The fluid 'bleeding' from the orifices is able to be absorbed through skin and is a potent poison.

Oozing Orifices. A creature that touches the bleeding tooth or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of its next turn.
Actions
Fists. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage.
Gushing Pores (Recharge 5-6). The bleeding tooth squirts poison from the holes on its body, soaking the vicinity. Each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Brain Mushroom
This peculiar fungus has fruiting body that quite closely resembles a disembodied brain with a brain stem, which is in fact its stalk. It can drag itself with the stalk or roll to move. For reasons unknown, the brain mushroom has some degree of psionic power that allows it to detect the minds of sentient creatures in its vicinity. When it detects what it perceives as a threat, it releases a cloud of spores to alert its neighbouring fungi. Myconids often use brain mushrooms as a silent alarm to warn the fungal people of sentient threats the brain mushroom perceives. It is thought that the brain mushroom may be related to the mind flayers' intellect devourers.

Detect Sentience. The brain mushroom can sense the presence and location of any creature within 300 feet of it that has an Intelligence of 3 or higher, regardless of interposing barriers, unless the creature is protected by a mind blank spell.

Foxfire
A mushroom creature with small layered caps which create an illusion of fur, a foxfire has a slight resemblence to a small, fungal fox kit. They possess 4 stalks which serve as legs and a stalk with a cap at the end that is not unlike a tail. Their most defining characteristic, however, is the intense bioluminescence they radiate. Foxfires are surprisingly playful, and as they only feed on decaying wood, can sometimes even be found as exotic pets.

Indigo Milk Cap
Sometimes thought to be myconids blessed by the fae, indigo milk caps are in fact simply natural fungal creatures with a quasi-humanoid form. They possess a thick, stocky, and mostly featureless body with an enormous blue cap on their heads. The gills of the cap constantly ooze and drip with a thick fluid, which has been found to cure many ailments, even some magical. The "Pixie Milk" is a very rare substance that loses potency soon after being produced and is difficult to harvest from the shy and elusive creatures.

Pixie Milk. The indigo milk cap administers the fluid it produces in its cap to a creature within 5 feet of it. The creature automatically succeeds on the next saving throw it makes within 1 minute to resist or recover from disease, paralysis, or poison.
Inky Cap
These mushroom monsters are exceptionally elegant. A shaggy, bell-shaped cap functions as its torso, with thin, white limbs sprouting from what resembles a wedding dress. Notably, the inky cap does not possess any sort of head atop its cap. The dress fades from a brilliant white to a deep black, and around its rim drips globs of viscous, inky goo. This ooze actually contains the spores of the inky cap, though they are known to throw it into the eyes of predators for a moment to escape.

Death Burst. When the inky cap dies, it explodes in a burst of sludge. Each creature within 5 feet of it must then succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. A blinded creature can repeat the saving throw on each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Satyr's Beard
What appears to be a mass of icicles hanging from a tree or a large patch of white grass is actually a fungus known as the satyr's beard. The fungus is composed of hundreds of thick, rope-like tendrils that can extend up to 10 feet to grasp dead trees to feed on. Those who unknowingly get to close or step on a satyr's beard may end up entangled in its ivory hairs, which release decaying enzymes into their victim's flesh.

False Appearance. While the satyr's beard remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary fungus.
Grasping Tendrils. The satyr's beard can grapple as many creatures as it can reach. Each tendril can be attacked (AC 10; 6 hit points; vulnerability to slashing damage; immunity to poison and psychic damage). Destroying a tendril deals 3 (1d6) damage to the satyr's beard. A creature grappled by a tendril can be freed by taking an action to succeed on a DC 12 Strength check or by destroying the tendril.
Surface Fungus. Other creatures can enter the satyr's beard's space, but a creature that does so is subjected to the fungus' tendrils. The creature must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw made with disadvantage or be hit by Constrict. A creature grappled by the satyr's beard while on its space takes 4 (1d8) necrotic damage at the start of each of the fungus' turns.
Actions
Constrict. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 10ft., one creature. Hit: 9 (2d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage. If the creature is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 12). Until this grapple ends, the creature is restrained. The creature must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw at the start of each of the satyr's beard's turns or take 4 (1d8) necrotic damage.
Reel. The satyr's beard pulls each creature grappled by it up to 10 feet straight toward it.
Slime Mold
Slime molds are ooze-like fungi that feed off decaying organic matter. They are mostly harmless to creatures, as they do not eat living flesh, but will occasionally feed on corporeal undead such as zombies if given the chance. Slime molds come in a range of colors, including yellow, white, green, brown, and black.

Veiled Lady
Veiled ladies are vaguely feminine humanoid shaped fungal creatures featuring a brown cap in place of a head and a net-like "skirt" sprouting from it. The veiled lady can rip the skirt from its cap and throw it at enemies to restrain them long enough for it to retreat. The skirt is covered in a sticky slime to remain adhered to the target and grows surprisingly quickly, sometimes within a few seconds if the situation is dire. Its method of reproduction involves a mass of spores that reek of carrion, attracting insects for dispersal.

Stench. Any creature other than a veiled lady that starts its turn within 5 feet of the veiled lady must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of its next turn.

Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) frees the target without harming it and destroys the net.
