The Mycelium Monx

You are, of course, familiar with the nature of Mycelium. In case you're not, it's the name given to the branched network of fine fibers that permeate the soil and that gives rise to mushrooms and toadstools, which are actually the reproductive parts of the overall fungus. A Mycelium can be small in area, or it can expand to cover hundreds of acres. The Mycelium Monx has evolved to live symbiotically with the Mycelium, using it not only for food but also as a communication network where chemical messages that the Monx is equipped to sense can be transmited to other Monxes over a wide area. In return, the Myclium gains from the Monx protecting it from other other creatures that might also consume it by helping to camouflage the visible parts (mushrooms etc) with unique dyes contained in their skin and saliva, some of which are very poisonous to humans. A side effect of this is that the Mycelium Monx itself becomes well disguised in its environment and it's an extremely rare event if one is spotted. There has only been one occasion when a Mycelium Monx has been observed for long enough for its behaviour to be studied and understood, and that was by Prof. Elizabeth Fiddlebottom in a small village in Norfolk in England, in 1902. Ironically she died from inadvertently eating poisonous mushrooms a few years later.
