"You collect molds, spores, and fungus and plant them on the corpses of your enemies to see what useful grows out of it. Icky."

Fungal Arts starts the player with 2 Spores and 8 random mushrooms (See: Starting Equipment).

[edit] Levels

Level	Icon	Name	Increased Stats	Granted Ability	Description
1		Mushroom Farmer	+1	Spore Stash	You collect molds, spores, and fungus. You like to grow mushrooms on the bodies of your enemies. Sometimes this comes in handy; usually it's just weird. Spores have a chance to be automatically planted when you defeat an enemy.
2		Slime-herder	+1	Summon Slime	By studying the lore of the Slime-herders from the Mushroom Jungles of Smome, you gain the ability to summon a fiercly loyal mushroom-beast. You can also plant a greater variety of fungi.
3		Moldsmith	+1	Mushroom Transmutation	You can transform a mushroom into another random mushroom, if such a trick tickles your fancy. You can also grow a greater number of mushrooms at the same time.
4		Battle Mycology	+1	Passive: Mini Toxic Spore Cloud	With increased knowledge of mushrooms, you enhance your melee attacks with occasional clouds of confusing, toxic spores. You will also grow even more mushrooms, like some kind of mycological cornucopia.
5		Fungal Master of Yuggoth	+1	Summon Mushroom Beast	As the Mi-go once did (and shall again), you can summon living weapons of fungus to serve your will. You might also cause mushrooms to burst from the corpses of your fallen enemies.

The first half of the skill description is a reference to a line in the movie Ghostbusters wherein Egon Spangler states that he collects molds, spores and fungus after being asked if he has any hobbies
The Fungal Master of Yuggoth skill is a reference to various H.P. Lovecraft stories, in which Yuggoth was a planet inhabited by cognizant race of extraterrestrial (and interstellar) quasi-fungus known as the Mi-go.
