Gourdyceps

At the base of Sporopolis in the farm-graves known as the Heartstem, many people leave edible offerings as tribute to fallen friends and in reverence for the sentient city consuming them. Fruits and vegetables with heartier shells decay into the ground more slowly. Those that take the longest to decompose absorb the spore-heavy air, and instead of fully decaying, they sometimes sprout small, fungal limbs and the intelligence of a small creature. Called “gourdyceps,” these animated produce often scurry through the city looking for whomever left them at the Heartstem, seeming to desire their companionship. ---------- It's a lot like a spiced chai, but without the chai. If you want a warming blend to mix with milk that doesn't have caffeine, this is the one!
