Yellow Mold

A patch of sickly yellow fungus clinging to stone, harmless until something brushes it — then it bursts in a choking cloud of spores. Adventurers learn to recognize its dusty bloom before they're close enough to set it off.

Spore Explosion [Reaction] Trigger A creature moves into the mold's space or damages the mold. The mold can't use this reaction if it's in direct sunlight or if the damage was fire damage.
