Rolling in just to check on this before I get threads happening - with regard to how Kelesis has certain "blanket" effects on each soul type/amplifications of their Natural Soul that are listed under the city info, are there any specific effects like this for the Fungi soul that Momo might pick up?

Also, would the fungal mycelium network stuff/ability to communicate through the ground provide any extra info/get any response from the Ominous Presence when going beneath Kelesis?
A very good question... 🤔 Momo is the only Fungi-type Natural Soul present in Kelesis at the time. Special traits Fungi-types have in Kelesis include an even greater disregard for the concept of "individuality." The Augmented One standing next to Momo might be thought of as an extension of Momo... and in doing this, some of that character's feelings may become Momo's. Unless the other character is also a Fungi-type, however, they won't borrow from Momo's heart the way he borrows from theirs. This is the only special trait for Fungi-types in the Kelesian barrier; Wild Souls will find fewer impacts compared to other Natural Souls!

Regarding the mycelium network and the Kelesian underground, one thing Momo can detect: there is not a trace of Fungi-type to be found, despite the prevalent scent of rot. Not to say things don't mold or decay down there, but no actual Fungi-types! However, his improved ley of the land tells him the layout of the structure, and he might have a greater ability to navigate its crevasses and caverns. The structure is massive., unfathomably so, and built in the shape of a complete sphere of concrete. How it was created down there is... staggering. There are many living creatures down here; they absolutely slap of the plant monster from Karteria the month prior, but there are other creatures, smaller if sturdy. Momo can remotely inflict some of these distant plant critters with fungi; this will be a lengthy process, but it might yield some of the "thoughts" or "feelings" belonging to the creatures back to Momo.

This kind of attempt at communication will be jarring and painful to the creatures, who have lived for many years thrashing about, mindless and senseless. Their pain is all they can communicate at this time, unfortunately.
