Useful Info
A ballistomycete is a plant-type monster, capable of spawning ballistomycete spores for attacking nearby enemies.
They don't generate anywhere in the Dungeon, though Fedhas worshippers can summon them with the Grow Ballistomycete ability.

Tips & Tricks
- Confusion is a very strong effect. A ballistomycete colony or 2 can take out most early game threats on its own, and help take out later ones.
- Spores aren't mindful of what they hit. Don't be next to a spore when it explodes, or you'll take a huge chunk of damage and be confused. You can't tell them to do anything, so don't bother.
History
- Prior to 0.24, ballistomycetes could reproduce via ballistomycete spores. Followers of Fedhas Madash could upgrade ballistomycetes to hyperactive ballistomycetes using the Evolution ablility. Hyperactive ballistomycetes would repeatedly cause explosions of spores before eventually dying, leaving more ballistomycetes in their wake.
- Prior to 0.17, ballistomycete colonies could spawn naturally in the Dungeon, instead of being exclusive to followers of Fedhas.
- Prior to 0.14, destroying a colony of ballistomycetes would give you about 500 experience.
