The corpse is not poisonous.

@@ Line 41: / Line 41: @@
 The violet fungus originates from ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', where they debut in the 1st Edition ''Monster Manual''. Violet fungi are large and human-sized mushrooms that possess a mass of root-like feelers, which support their bulk and grant them very slow mobility in order to find more favorable feeding spots; they also possess four leafy tendrils that emit a poisonous substance, and flail them in the direction of any moving beings that they sense
-Violet fungi have a symbiotic relationship with the closely-related [[shrieker]]s, to the point that in pre-Spellplague settings they bear a close resemblance. Both types of fungi inhabit the same dark underground environments, such as the Underdark, and often grow in the same patches; a shrieker's noise often attracts curious prey close enough for a violet fungus to poison and kill them, and both fungi would then feed on the decaying remains. Shriekers are also immune to the poisons of the violet fungus.

 Monsters eating corpses functions as in EvilHack, allowing the hero to feed violet fungus corpses to applicable pets so they can potentially gain intrinsics.

-Violet fungi are not particularly threatening, though they can be annoying with their sticky attacks holding heroes in place. Violet fungi corpses are a possible source of poison resistance for a hero, but the hallucination warrants a reliable means of curing it (e.g. a [[unicorn horn]]) in order to make them safer to eat. [[Pet]] herbivores such as [[horse]]s are not given hallucination from food, and so can freely eat violet fungi corpses.

 ==History==
 The violet fungus first appears in Hack for PDP-11, which is based on [[Jay Fenlason's Hack]]. From this version to [[NetHack 2.3e]], the monster is known as "violet fungi", with the "violet fungus" name used if the <tt>KAA</tt> compile-time option is set, and it uses the {{white|v}} glyph. [[NetHack 3.0.0]] moves the violet fungus to the fungus or mold monster class, and establishes its current name and glyph.

Pets are not affected by the hallucination, so [[herbivorous]] ones can safely eat the corpse.
