Gas fungi

This week I painted some more flora from the Outlanders bestiary for my Necromunda / Inquisimunda collection - gas fungi.  There are many varieties of fungus growing in the dank, dark Underhive, & most of them are harmless.  These are harvested for food, especially by scavvies, mutants, & outlaws living in the waste zones beyond even the ramshackle settlements.  However, some Necromunda fungi have evolved to become capable of protecting themselves via the release of mycotoxins.  One gas fungus is known as the 'dream-spore', which looks like a multi-coloured ball of fluff & causes hallucinogenic waking-dreams - the victims of which often stumble into one of the myriad horrors of the Underhive.  In rules terms, moving through a patch of gas fungi risks releasing one of three types of gas (using the special grenades rules for Hallucinogen, Choke, & Scare).

These small patches are based as per my usual urban rubble recipe, on laser-cut ply discs from Fenris Games, from where I also purchased the resin mushrooms.  I'm planning to make a larger area of gas fungi, using a CD for a base.

These patches of fungi could also be used to represent harmless varieties to be harvested/protected... or maybe even unhatched Ork/Gretchin spores to be purged!
