 Disgusting molds are fairly dangerous to attack in melee: despite being flagged as appearing only in Gehennom, generation mechanics for fungi mean that they can be found growing on corpses as early as the first level of the dungeon. A [[hero]]'s starting [[pet]] will need to reach [[Monster level|level]] 4 to even attack one in these cases, and most of them cannot safely attack the mold without being poisoned in return, with the only exception being the [[Necromancer]]'s [[ghoul]].
