DW: Future Fungus

The Future Fungus is a species of parasitic fungus from the Future Rainforest.

As A Hazard
Future Fungus spores can be found in patches in the Future Rainforest, where they wait for large animals to pass by. They will then eject spores to infect the animal.

In game terms, if a character enters an area of Fungus and is wearing unsealed armour, they most roll a die each turn. If they roll 1, 2 or 3 on any roll, they become infected and must seek medical aid within 5 turns.

Not all species may be infected; here is a list:
 * DW: Human
 * Any Earth animal from before this time period
 * DW: Catkind
 * DW: Chelonian
 * DW: Draconian
 * DW: Graske
 * DW: Hath
