Flesh and Hair Mushroom Growths first manifest in Volume 2 as grotesque, hand-sized fungal outgrowths whose white stems and blood-red caps are studded with dark-golden flecks and woven from decaying flesh and human scalps. Across the series they evolve from isolated, eerie curiosities into active vectors of corruption, spreading through ritual sites and battlefields alike. Their presence becomes an unmistakable signature of the pathways that blur the line between life and undeath, marking the creeping expansion of an otherworldly ecology that threatens both Beyonders and ordinary humans.
