Reminds me: In the roguelike game Cataclysm DDA, there’s fungus monsters. Basically once they’re on the map, the best strategy was to just run and keep running until they were out of the game’s “simulation bubble.”
They would spread fungal colonies uncontrollably, creating fungal towers, spawning more spores, and fungal versions of monsters, which would spread more spores…
You could hack away at them or burn them sure, but all of them? Unlikely. You could also get infected with spores! They’d rapidly take over the entire game basically lol … Dunno if that’s been nerfed now.
Also, you cannot kill them in a way that matters
“If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”
It’s over, I have the low ground
The shaggy mane mushrooms like growing on a hillside in my yard and not at the bottom!
They ARE the ground.
Break mycelium in half, now is just two mycelium. Mycelium win every time.
Mycelium > yourcelium
Why not ourcelium, comrade
Throw it into the sun
Then the sun develops a fungal infection, and don’t scratch that itchy rash, it’ll only make it worse.
thank you for the gold reference. completely forgot about that post
Burning them seems to kill them. As does fungicide.

Spores are freaky. Really freaky…
40k Orcs work like that. It leaves open the question if Orc burgers are vegan or not.
