Description

In Naidem, several varieties of vibrantly colored mushrooms grow in clusters and rings on the forest floor, or along the bark of trees. Most of them bear phosphorescent spores, which can cause the area immediately around clusters to glow with eerie light or give the mushroom itself the appearance that it is illuminated from within.

This particular variety has a broad rainbow-hued cap that is thick and gently sloping. Its crown is covered in a deeply wrinkled texture vaguely resembling veins twining around irregular deep pits. Where the cap rolls inward at the edges, dense gills can be glimpsed beneath in paler prismatic hues, softly contrasting against its stout ghostly white stalk.

Lore

Rainbow-striped mushrooms are a fungus that is unique to Elanthia. There currently is no lore associated with it.

Appearances

The rainbow-striped mushroom only grows in Naidem. It can most easily be foraged in Bittermere Woods and the Moorlyn neighborhood.

Rainbow-striped mushrooms grow alongside other brightly colored or luminescent fungi within the Bittermere.
