{{for|the monster in other variants|gray fungus}}
A '''gray fungus''', {{gray|F}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]]. The gray fungus is a type of [[fungus]] that is [[sessile]] and lacks limbs, eyes or a head like other fungi.

Gray fungi have a [[passive attack]] that has a {{frac|2|3}} chance of triggering in response to a melee attack that does not kill them—the passive attack makes an attacker [[terminally ill]], or worsens existing illness if the attacker is already diseased. Gray fungi possess [[poison resistance]] and [[immunity to sickness]].

A gray fungus [[corpse]] is [[poisonous]] to [[eat]], and consuming a gray fungus corpse or [[tin]] grants +5% ({{frac|20}}) [[Partial intrinsic|additional poison resistance]]. Dipping a gray fungus corpse into a [[potion of fruit juice]] creates a [[potion of sickness]].

==Generation==
Randomly-generated gray fungi are always hostile.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
Fungi, division of simple plants that lack chlorophyll, true
stems, roots, and leaves. Unlike algae, fungi cannot
photosynthesize, and live as parasites or saprophytes. The
division comprises the slime molds and true fungi. True
fungi are multicellular (with the exception of yeasts); the
body of most true fungi consists of slender cottony
filaments, or hyphae. All fungi are capable of asexual
reproduction by cell division, budding, fragmentation, or
spores. Those that reproduce sexually alternate a sexual
generation (gametophyte) with a spore-producing one. The
four classes of true fungi are the algaelike fungi (e.g.,
black bread mold and downy mildew), sac fungi (e.g., yeasts,
powdery mildews, truffles, and blue and green molds such as
Penicillium), basidium fungi (e.g., mushrooms and puffballs)
and imperfect fungi (e.g., species that cause athlete's foot
and ringworm). Fungi help decompose organic matter (important
in soil renewal); are valuable as a source of antibiotics,
vitamins, and various chemicals; and for their role in
fermentation, e.g., in bread and alcoholic beverage
production.
