	'''Myconids''' are a race of mushroom-men native to the [[Underdark]]. Unlike most things that live down under the surface of the typical [[Dungeons & Dragons]] world, myconids don't want to kill. They don't want to enslave. They don't want to take your stuff. They just wish to be left alone to farm fungus, use hallucinogenic spores to engage in mass shared drug-dreams for fun, and rear the next generation of their people. That said, they are willing to defend themselves, and as much as they sound like a band of hippies, they can be quite dangerous. Particularly in 4th edition, they can breed really quickly, which prompts other races of the Underdark to be particularly hostile towards them.

	Myconids made their debut in [[A1-2-3-4: Scourge of the Slavelords A4: In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords]]. In the foreword to the 2013 reprint collection A0-A4: Against the Slave Lords, author Lawrence Schick writes: "By far my favorite part of the module was creating the myconids and their amusing and alien society. D&D needed mushroom men, and I was proud to provide them. Erol Otus supplied the original concepts. 'What I want,' I told him, 'is the dancing mushrooms from Walt Disney's Fantasia, only sinister.' Being Erol, he knew exactly what I meant, and boy, did he deliver."		Myconids made their debut in [[A1-2-3-4: Scourge of the Slavelords\|A4: In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords]].

	Indeed, the front cover of A4: In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords shows some fairly threatening myconids, especially the trio in the background. Given that the fungus men are generally a peaceful race, it is perhaps an unusual way to introduce them, but it is also true that most of the violence on the cover is being done ''to'' the myconids, rather than by them. Perhaps appropriately for fungi capable of causing violent hallucinations, their debut illustration is in vivid colours.

	There is a lot of information on myconids packed into In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords, not only in their monster entry at the back, but also spanning three pages of the adventure itself. When the adventurers first reach the fungus colony, the creatures they initially encounter are not the myconids themselves, but creatures animated by the myconid king. These monstrosities are a rotting, slime-covered kobold with toadstools growing from its eye sockets; two giant worker ants with drooping antennae and sluggish movements; a fire beetle with no glow and equally sluggish motions; and a human corpse whose flesh has mostly been replaced by a bulbous purple fungus.
