WIPThe gangly and easily frightened Lepistis are evolved from the mushroom genus ''lepista''. Like most of those they are edible, and they hate it. Lepistis are the most reserved of the Polliform species (and they get stiff competition in that regard), making them the least likely to give any non-Polly lifeform the time of day. They generally use their camouflaging abilities to remain hidden, and use their spores to make hostile intruders more manageable. *+4 [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]], -2 [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]; they are the swiftest and most agile of the Polliform, but also some of the least pleasant to be around.*+1 [[SRD:Natural Armor|natural armor]] bonus to [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]].*Unlike other Pollies, lepistis are capable of [[SRD:Run|running]].*Expert Camouflage {{Ex}}: Lepistis have a +4 racial bonus to [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] checks.

WIPHeavy, stocky and extremely round, the Boletis are based on bolete-type mushrooms and share their penchant for large heads and tough, reticulated skin. They are the toughest of Polly-kind, and its staunchest defenders. They stand in the front when the cluster is under attack, soaking heavy blows and using their spores to pacify attackers. However, of all Pollies, they hate moving the most, and prefer just spending all of their time rooted. *+2 [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]], -2 [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]]; they are the toughest and most hardy of the Polliform, yet have a sometimes troublesome lack of common sense.*+5 [[SRD:Natural Armor|natural armor]] bonus to [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]].
Inching along, little by little.

The 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 most of 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.
* Fungal Spores {{Su}}: A bispor can use its fungal spores to emulate the effect of ''[[SRD:Faerie Fire|faerie fire]]'' three times per day as a [[SRD:Standard Action|standard action]].
* Favored class: Any.
Polliform Bisporis are generally between 5 and 6 feet, and weigh around 150 to 200 pounds.

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 fighting off dangerous beasts and heavy lifting.
* +4 [[SRD:Strength|Strength]], -2 [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]]; morels are somewhat dull-witted, but know well how to throw their weight around.
