Biology
Shroomkin tend to stand around 1’ (30.4cm) at the shoulder. They have sharp, retractable claws used for climbing and delicate tasks, but only begrudgingly used for digging. Their thumbs are opposable. They are mammalian, covered in fur and bearing live young in litters of 1-3, once a year or less as they desire. Their lifespan is anywhere from 20-50 years, 50 being considered rare and highly respected if achieved (they count their age in seasons, however, so 50 years would be considered 200 seasons).
Young are born a gray-brown with white dappled on their back and head, and eyes a dark brown. Once they eat their first mushroom (which they must seek out themselves around two seasons of age), the symbiotic relationship is formed as the fungi becomes a part of them. At this time, their colors begin to change and they develop a distinct look. Once the fungi fruits on their head, they are considered an adult (typically at 4 seasons of age). The fruiting fungi will fall
