Okay, I had two ideas for the Myconid bard. I basically thought, realtically, how would a Myconid adventure? Turns out that they'd have issues, with things like crazy mushroom hands. So I came up with this idea.

Their name is Hiu. This is short for Human Infiltraiton Unit 000. They were designed by the Myconids to be able to integrate fully with human society, and do things requiring human hands like advanced semantic spells and so forth. (This idea largely came about so the rules wouldn't have to be bent so much for how their hands and eyes work.) True Neutral, of course.

Oh, yeah, speaking of eyes, since I don't want them to be human, I was thinking their eyes could be essentially just there for looks. Their actual eyes would be stalks coming from on top of their head, and they would be not eye-like at all. Imagine your typical cartoony alien's antennae, and you're basically there.

As far as gender goes, mushrooms have 36000, apparently. So let's just say N/A.

The mushroom species they were based on originally would be Mycenia Asterina, a certain kind of bioluinescent fungus that just happens to look sort of flesh-like when it's not glowing, save for the slight blueness.

My other idea was just, you know, a big mushroom guy that glows, but that's more boring in my opinion and would require some weird workarounds in the rules..
