When a | When a creature who is not {{Qud text|&GFriendly}} with the [[Fungi]] faction (for players, having less than {{qud text|&G250}} [[reputation]]) enters any of the 8 tiles surrounding a [[brooding puff]], the puff will spew its infectious spores into the air. The spores act similar to a [[gas]], and will generally linger in the air for around 60-100 turns. Any creature or player that is in the same tile as fungal spores must make a [[save|toughness save]] each turn (difficulty 10) or become afflicted with [[itchy skin]], which eventually leads to the fungal infection after 2-3 days.{{Code Reference|class=GasFungalSpores|method=ApplyFungalSpores}} | ||
Drinking {{favilink|honey}} or eating {{favilink|yuckwheat stem|plural}} does not help in fighting off itchy skin, but certain cooking effects can give temporary immunity to itchy skin or remove an existing itchy skin effect. For details, refer to the [[itchy skin]] page. | |||

Fungi spawn in [[ | Fungi spawn in [[zones]] that are randomly generated with a ''fungus patch'', ''fungus grove'', or ''fungus forest'' postfix.<ref><code>XRL.World.Biomes.FungalBiome</code></ref> These zones can appear in any biome, including under ground, though they are somewhat uncommon. When such an area spawns in the world, it is typical for multiple connected zones to each be populated with fungi. | ||

They are also filled with {{favilink|dandy cap|plural}} and {{favilink|spotted shagspook}}, which, though harmless themselves, can often obscure the visibility of nearby [[brooding puff]]s. It is also common for fungal zones to include creatures that are infected with one or more fungal infections. These creatures often have the ''and friend to fungi'' postfix on their name. | ||

As leather bracers are the only non-shield item that grants armor on the arm and also only have access to general mods, fungal infections are a direct upgrade for those looking solely to maximize AV. | |||
