Grass-like fungus is a vital part of the dungeon ecosystem replacing the role of surface grass. It fulfills similar ecosystem requirements as grass would such as being stepped on by adventurers and serving as food for dwarven yaks*.
Grass-like fungus is flammable. For this reason it is one of the primary features to pay attention to when using a potion of Incineration or a staff of Firebolt. One vault key trap involves a room full of fungus which is set aflame by a sputtering torch when the key is taken.
Grass-like fungus can grow in bogs or shallow water. A bed of grass-like fungus grows under dense foliage and can be seen when the dense foliage is trampled.

- withered fungus
- luminescent fungus
- and the infamous creeping death
