Mushrums are monsters and enemies in Risk of Rain Returns.

Description

Mushrums are an overgrown bipedal species of fungus. Their stalk and gills are an earth dark brown color, with their caps bearing a reddish-orange wet texturing.

Mushrums possess false eyes on their stalks meant to intimidate and scare away potential predators. They emit massive clusters of poisonous purple spores to then feed on the dead matter by planting their feet and feeding on it via their mycelium.

Behavior

The Mushrum, upon seeing a player, will begin to move towards them slowly. when within range, the Mushrum will hunch down towards the ground and shake off a cloud of purple spores, dealing constant damage and obscuring the player's view. The Mushrum cannot jump or climb, making them easy to outmaneuver.

Field Notes:

I have arrived in an even stranger land. After recovering from my sudden.. teleportation, I noticed that my suit was flashing warnings about air filtration. All across the landscape were giant fungi, some as tall as trees.

When approaching a large bulbous mushroom, it suddenly sprouted out the ground, jumping a few feet in the air then landing on two nubby feet. At this point my air filtration warning went from yellow to red, and I began to have difficulties breathing..

While sentient, these mushrums were not very intelligent. It had what looked like three eyes, but it could not navigate very well, implying that those may be fake eyes to scare predators. It also had no mouth to eat, but would plant itself over corpses, slowly absorbing nutrients through its root-like feet..
