Illustration of a lush, swampy area filled with vibrant, green trees. There are many cloudy white bubbles drifting lazily through the air.
Safety Rating: Harmless.
Environment: Wetlands, especially swamps.
Details: This distinctive fungus has spherical, white fruiting bodies. When mature they rise into the air like soap bubbles and float away. Each fruiting body is filled with a foggy cloud of spores that is released when the delicate bubble pops.
Lore: Smaller winged species, like fairies, will sometimes collect these delicate fruiting bodies and use their spores to flavor food.
Inspiration: Puffball fungi and soap bubbles.
