WIPThe most numerous subspecies of Polliform, the Bisporis is based on the ubiquitous ''agaricus bisporus'', otherwise known as the portobello mushroom that is widely consumed by the civilized races. Usually called simply 'bispors', they grow quickly, mature quickly and are the polly species most adaptive to change. Bispors are also the most likely to mingle with non-polly races due to the fact that they have a working mouth that with sincere practice can learn to emulate verbal speech. Bispor have a starting age that is 4 years lower than other polly species. * +2 [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]]; they are less dextrously impaired than their kin, but also do not excel further in other areas.* +1 [[SRD:Natural Armor|natural armor]] bonus to [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]].* Racial Hit Dice: Unlike the other polly species, a bispor begins with only 1 level of [[SRD:Plant Type|plant]], which provides 1d8 [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]], a [[SRD:Base Attack Bonus|base attack bonus]] of +0, and base [[SRD:Saving Throw|save]] bonuses of [[SRD:Fortitude|Fort]] +2, [[SRD:Reflex|Ref]] +0 and [[SRD:Will|Will]] +0. This overrides the 2 racial Hit Dice indicated in the Polly basic racial traits.* A bispor may spend 2 skill points to be able to learn to talk with its mouth. This allows it to speak verbal languages without using [[SRD:Telepathy|telepathy]].* Bispors have 2 [[SRD:Slam|slam]] attacks with a base damage of 1d4.* Fungal Spores {{Su}}: A bispor can use its fungal spores to emulate the effect of ''[[SRD:Faerie Fire|faerie fire]]'' once per day as a [[SRD:Standard Action|standard action]].* Favored class: Any.

|specialtype7=Ex
|specialtext7=A polly may root itself into any natural surface as a [[SRD:Full-Round Action|full-round action]]. While rooted, a polly absorbs nutrients from wood, soil, stone, and groundwater and gains [[Rapid Healing (3.5e Creature Ability)|rapid healing]] equal to its effective character level. A rooted polly enjoys a +8 circumstance bonus to [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] and [[SRD:Disguise Skill|Disguise]] checks to impersonate an ordinary mushroom. For this purpose, a rooted Polly may [[SRD:Ranger#Hide in Plain Sight|hide in plain sight]] as a [[SRD:Ranger|ranger]].
:A polly roots itself to eat. It must be rooted in potable soil, natural earth or living wood for at least 2 hours per day to obtain enough nutrients, or 8 hours in case of arid or arctic climates. In situations where it cannot or does not for extended periods, [[SRD:Environment#Starvation and Thirst|starvation]] rules start to apply.
:Unrooting is a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]].
|special11=Racial Hit Dice

|specialtext11=A polly begins with two levels of [[SRD:Plant Type|plant]], which provide 2d8 [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]], a [[SRD:Base Attack Bonus|base attack bonus]] of +1, and base [[SRD:Saving Throw|save]] bonuses of [[SRD:Fortitude|Fort]] +23, [[SRD:Reflex|Ref]] +0 and [[SRD:Will|Will]] +0.

==={{Anchor|Polliform Bisporis}}===
==={{Anchor|Polliform Morelis}}===
Large and heavy, with the recognizable 'wrinkled' cap with ridges and pits, the Polliform Morelis, usually simply called morels, are large, simplistic and incredibly strong. They are highly sought after by civilized folk due to morel mushrooms being a delicacy. Even so, the odd scattered tales of lost adventurers in dark forests being punched to oblivion by walking mushrooms likely started with these. Morel are often tasked with protecting the cluster and heavy lifting.
* +2 4 [[SRD:Strength|Strength]], -2 [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]]; morels are somewhat dull-witted, but know well how to throw their weight around.
* +3 [[SRD:Natural Armor|natural armor]] bonus to [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]].
* A morel has [[Powerful Build (3.5e Feat)|Powerful Build]] and [[SRD:Power Attack|Power Attack]] as racial bonus feats.
* Morels have 2 [[SRD:Slam|slam]] attacks with a base damage of 1d10+[[SRD:Strength|Str]] and a [[SRD:Critical Hit|critical]] rate of 19-20/×2. A creature critically hit by a morel's slam attack must make a [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save or become [[SRD:Stunned|stunned]] for 1 [[SRD:Round|round]]. The morel can choose to forcibly apply the [[SRD:Stunned|stun]] effect to an attack by making a single [[SRD:Slam|slam]] attack as a [[SRD:Standard Action|standard action]] with a -4 penalty. In either case, the resulting saving throw is [[SRD:Strength|Strength]]-based.
* Fungal Spores {{Su}}: Once per encounter, a morel can release a 10-foot-radius spore cloud centered upon itself that [[SRD:Sickened|sickens]] living creatures for 5 [[SRD:Round|rounds]]. Those caught within it must make a [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save or be [[SRD:Nauseated|nauseated]] for the first 2 rounds instead. The effect is instantaneous and the spore cloud dissipates within a single round.
* Favored class: [[SRD:Fighter|fighter]].
