• Fungal Staff: Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+3) bludgeoning damage plus 9 (2d8) poison damage.
• Hurl Sap: Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d8+2) poison damage, and the sap sticks to the target. While the sap is stuck, the target takes 4 (1d8) poison damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can use an action to scrape away the sap, ending the effect.
• Mushroom Ring (Recharge 5-6): The spore lord causes fungal growth to erupt from a point on the ground it can sense within 120 feet of it. A ring of mushrooms sprouts in a 15-foot radius around that point. Each creature that isn't a mycolid within that ring must make a DC 14 CON save, taking 13 (3d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

On a failure, a creature takes 9 (2d8) poison damage and falls unconscious for 1 minute. On a success, a creature takes half the damage and doesn't fall unconscious. The unconscious creature wakes if it takes damage or if a creature uses an action to wake it.
