Moldy Slooch

Both the nervous system and slime- producing organ of this specimen have been invaded by fungal filaments, which is why it scatters spores as it moves. It will also shake spores onto other creatures, thus infecting new hosts and expanding the Toxstool's habitat and range. Once the host body ceases to function, it can no longer serve as a fungal-culture medium because its bodily fluids dry up and the corpus shrinks. At that point, the host body is abandoned.

After removing the poison, the broth is fragrant and savory. Don't drink too much, or you'll find yourself with a crippling tummy ache.
