K1 Exinate Research Expedition

The following is taken from a severely damaged research journal carried by the scribe of Lord Vital McGillam

This region is rife with strange fungal creatures that take on the semblance of the things they have consumed.  I am calling them Myconids. They cannot be reasoned with and are far more dangerous than I have ever anticipated. The Lisusua have developed several incantations that seem to protect our camps, but travel is hazardous and we have stayed clear of their infestations...Blooms?  The myconids were a constant source of danger, and we lost most of our Changcao diggers after visiting K1c.

The following was found in the travel diary of the lead porter of Exinate Expedition K1 (numbers added by later reader):
