Fungus
Fungus are a class of monsters, represented by F
- F lichen
- F brown mold
- F yellow mold
- F green mold
- F red mold
- F shrieker
- F violet fungus
SporkHack also introduces the F gray fungus, which has a passive disease attack.
All fungi are classified as vegan food. They are also immune to sickness. Players polymorphed into a fungus can safely eat old corpses.
Body parts
Fungus refers to the grouping of body parts for the forms of rhyzomic life. It affects the messages referring to the appropriate body parts as follows[1]:

| Handed | Stranded |
| Head | Cap area |
| Leg | Rhizome |
| Light Headed | Sporulated |
| Neck | Stalk |
| Spine | Root |
| Toe | Rhizome tip |
| Hair | Spores |
| Blood | Juices |

SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, Fungi may regenerate after being killed, much like Trolls. There is also a chance of a fungus generating on top of a non-fungus corpse. This can lead to fungi farming for early players, where perishable corpses are placed in a room, with hopes of generating one or two non-perishable lichens. The chances of this are rather small, but hey, it could work. Eventually.
Encyclopedia entry
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.
