They all have a mushroom cap atop their heads, though the younglings have a stalk with a smaller cap on top.

** Leshys -- small {{plant pe|rson}}ople magically created to serve as tenders of nature and aides to {{Druid}}s, fey and {{Treants}} -- include fungus leshys among their many variants. They are the most monstrous-looking leshys, with many asymmetrically-arranged eyes and gaping toothy maws, and typically haunt swamplands, compost pits and areas thick with fungal growth. [[DarkIsNotEvil They're no more evil than other leshys]], however, and they watch over compost and decay, helping decompose dead and dying plant matter and recycle it back into the ecosystem. They also vary quite a bit among each other, as most leshys do, and may resemble any given type of mushroom from fly agarics to morels.

* ''VideoGame/{{Mother}}'': Though they don't have faces, the Ramblin' Evil Mushroom and the Struttin' Evil Mushroom from ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' and the Ramblin' Mushroom from ''VideoGame/Mother3'' are all animated, and sport a pair of working legs and an amount of psychic powers.
