How do they reproduce ? My current idea is that they have ' shroom sex , and lay a plant that matures , and then grows more shroom people . What do they eat ? I really like your idea , I ' ll play with it some . It ' d be really interesting to have a sapient species that are foragers or whatever the term is for animals that eat dead things instead of huntergatherers . They wouldn ' t have to worry about the diseases from rotten food because they are the disease . Are there any humans still around ? Yes ! Quite a few , in fact . They ' re one of the most populous races in the Local Group . The Orcs a subspecies of human brought them into galactic civilization upon discovering them , and now the Orcs are kinda bros to them since in a way they were both mistreated by Sapiens the typical earthlike humans subspecies . Although being abandoned because everybody ' s dead isn ' t really intentionally mistreating someone . What do they look like ? Ah , that is a good question . I ' m still working on that , I ' m thinking of going with a vaguely humanoid shape call it unoriginal but I like the species in my setting to be relatable P and giving them mushroom and funguslike traits , kind of similar to the game Mushroom Men . Wouldn ' t they be more fungus people if they ' re descended from mold ? Technically what happened is that a species of bacteria with the ability to copy the genes of whatever it eats , ate all of the mold , mushrooms , etc . and this guy ' s body , and so it became a weid average of all of those things before moving on evolutionarily and dropping the copying genes ability . But I will definitely show some mold inspiration , if I can do it in a nonweird way . Actually , what if some of them kept the ability to copy traits for a while longer , and copied some of the looks of the creatures they are in that ship . I like that idea , I ' ll have to play with it some .
