017 : The Pig

"You ain't never seen a fungus before. I'm serious! Oh, sure, you think you have, colourful caps all plump and delicious lookin', but the true fungus? Thats deep below. Stretching, burrowing. Lookin' for food. Somethin' to rot, steal away and spread far and thin. Mycelium can be like a weed, stranglin' the life outta your crops, your family, and your home. No, you ain't never seen a fungus before. And trust me - you don't want to."

An account from Joan Mosstreader, one of the few to have returned from the Mycelus Archipelago

A pig's skull overgrown with fungus fashioned into a mask. It smells of old bone, and rot.Wearing the mask, the user gains the ability to grow any existing fungus to ten times its original size. The toxins of an amplified fungus are also far more potent the larger the shroom.

As well as this, the user gains the uncanny ability to locate any buried objects nearby to a shocking accuracy.

Spore cloud

Once per long rest, the user can expel a cloud of deadly spores around themselves in a thirty foot radius. Anyone caught in this cloud must make a constitution saving throw of 14 at the end of their turn or take 1d20 + 5 poison damage (or half as much on a successful save). Those hurt by the spores have disadvantage when attacking the wearer of The Pig for three turns after they were last hurt by the spores, unwilling to hurt their Sporemother.

If the user so wishes, they can eat a deadly fungus to regain a charge for Spore Cloud. They must find this fungus themselves, and will take 1d20 damage whilst ingesting the shroom.
