An ancient adage of spaceflight states that sentience takes many forms, but this statement alone seems too simple to describe the complex nature of the Funginar Sporegots. Once, these unthinking mycelia lifeforms grew in isolation across hundreds of stellar systems. Then, at the same moment that a collapsing pulsar sent hypersonic waves of radiation streaming through the galaxy, the Funginar rose up as one great hivemind and spawned a new civilization in the shadow of Andromeda.


It took centuries before the galaxy learned how to communicate with the Funginar. By then, fungal life teemed on every known planet. The Sporegots had a unique ability to change their shape to match any task they faced and this made them valuable allies to the people of Andromeda. Working in complete synergy, the Funginar became masterful technicians and engineers. When the Unity arrived and captured entire populations, the hostage Funginar simply fell apart into mycelial spores and blew away on the breeze. The hivemind had already left the galactic core behind in pursuit of the distant nebula.
