Yellow mold is also found in underground environments. If touched, it does 1d6 points of damage to exposed flesh; further, any forceful or damaging contact is 50% likely to cause it to burst forth with a cloud of poisonous spores. Everyone within 10 feet of the mold must save vs. Poison or die of asphyxiation. Obviously, normal weapon attacks are useless against this creature; however, fire destroys yellow mold, and sunlight renders it dormant.
