I was thinking of a slime mold that grew down a tunnel, tossed in some shrooms for color, and tadaaaa! Instant fungus tunnel.

"And so, despite the terrible dangers of long-term spore infection, a foolhardy few would return to the surface every year to see the mjongha fungus in full display; though most went to experience a mindless rush and euphoria as the ripe, sun-damaged spores burst inside them."

Fungal Tunnel
Game setting:
The Fungal Tunnel is a gateway-dungeon that connects the two main northeastern regions between the mountains. Besides being a conecting point, it is also a mini-dungeon by itself, with hostile monsters, treasures, and quest oportunities. There are also several entrances, some hidden, some not, to other underground areas, and to more extensive dungeons beneath the mountains.
Location description:
The Tunnel is abandoned. Several species of mushrooms of all sizes from enourmous to diminute can be found growing on the floor. On the walls, species of lichen crawl the Tunnel's upper surroundings.
Possible monsters: Kobolds, Trolls, Sentient Fungi
Other information: some mushrooms and fungi can be picked up. What you can do with them varies, they can be used in potion preparation, sold, cooked, or eaten raw (Flora Knowledge would be advisable, or be equiped with the Fungal Tome).

What's that smell? The recent discovery of a tunnel located deep in the congo has brought about a wave of new fungal discoveries.

In the harsh jungles of the Feronus island colonies, the creatures known as the 'Fungal hunter' reside within the Dense and thick jungle vegetation. Hiding in the darkness of the 'Fungal tunnels' they wait for prey to hunt and kill to feed their children and protect the eggs. Local tribesman, knights and explorers come from all over the world to prove their worth by bringing home the 4 glowing eyes of the 'Fungal Hunters'.

As the three men stand inside the entrance to the fungal tunnel their thoughts dwell on the advice of their lost guide. His knowledge alone would have seen them through to the end, but the battle against the tunnel guardian was too great for even him. His dying words were hard to distinguish, although they heard enough to question if they should even take another step inside.
The tunnel, wound beneath the roots of the oldest trees, was carved by the guardian itself, a maze of passages, that if placed one after the other would stretch twice around the planet. Certain paths would lead to dead ends after days of travel, others, deeper underground, could be filled with poisonous spores released from mysterious growths.
Their guide hinted at the secrets inside, of explorers who had taken it upon themselves to search for the many rumoured relics. Their inevitable deaths would leave behind a lifeline for future travellers…..

A deadly contagious disease has broken out and many are left ill. This new strain of disease has left everyone baffled. The only recorded medical information is found in the book of ancient chinese herbal medicine. Having no choice, a team of scientists set out to find this unique fungus.

Another of the examples of harsh and unusual environment of Terra II are the Fungal tunnels. These have yet to be fully explored due to the poisonous fungus which thrive here. The hazards are too great for a full exploration of the caverns but the medical field believes that here they may find cures to some of the exotic deceases of the planet. here we see the opening to one of the tunnels on the continent state of Verfin.

According to legend, the deepest secrets of the universe, and perhaps Paradise, lie hidden within the Great Mushroom Labyrinth of Kr'King. But whether this is true cannot be known, because while many have ventured into the labyrinth, none has ever returned.

Environment pollution of Planet NewTerra 9 was very high. Cities buildings were almost destroyed because of acid rains and strong heat emission of both suns in this planetary system. Most of metals and plastics used to build any constructers weren’t resistant to new situation. But scientist has found a good material for new buildings - organic material - a kind of “mutated” mushroom. Genetically changed, it could be a raw material for buildings, roads, bridges or tunnels. “Weatherproof, cheap and good to natural environment”.

Near Future. A constant extremely acid rain is falling onto the earth. Mankind live subsurface. Only some tough plants, insekts and fungi manage to grow overground. Fungi - that are the superior life-form now - even grow as high as trees. they filter the acid water with their Mycel. Planting the spores is tunnel like fields is the most usual way of domestication. Also the luminescent lamellae are an atraction to overground tourists at night.
