Monster statistics extracted from online SRD wiki, not the published hardcover edition.

Violet fungi looks like shriekers and in fact the two are often found growing together. The plants are usually 4-ft to 7-ft tall, and each plant has 1d4 branches growing out if it. At 4-ft tall, the fungi will have 1-ft branches. For every foot taller the fungi grows, the branches grow a foot longer. When the fungi detects movement nearby it will wave its branches around releasing its spores. Anyone within 4-ft will have to save vs poison or their exposed flesh will begin to rot within 1 round. Anyone who fails their save will require a cure disease spell.
