I really don't want to spoil much but they're essentially the same as sentient plants, only with the slight downside of being liable to infect other organic species when they release their spores. Also, you would not believe the amount of horrifying diseases in this world that are caused by fungi.

I'm assuming Fungi will not be playable then right? Never mind I've got a different idea.
