Mold (SLASH'EM)

Molds in SLASH'EM behave somewhat differently than in vanilla. The first change is that any fungus that leaves a corpse, other than a lichen, has a 75% chance of reviving in the same manner as a troll. The second change is that molds will grow on old corpses, as opposed to the corpse simply rotting away over time. After xxx turns there is a yyy chance that a mold will grow over an old corpse. The mold will be a random member of the fungus class, biased towards sessile fungi. The mold will 'destroy' the corpse as it grows.

Additionally, there are two new types of molds; the disgusting mold and the black mold. Both possess a poisonous passive spore attack that will cause poison damage if you are not poison resistant or unbreathing and a passive acid attack. They are safe to eat, however, and have a good chance of providing poison resistance.

Encyclopedia Entry

Mold, multicellular organism of the division Fungi, typified
by plant bodies composed of a network of cottony filaments.
The colors of molds are due to spores borne on the filaments.
Most molds are saprophytes. Some species (e.g., penicillium)
are used in making cheese and antibiotics.
