Line 11:
In particularly large specimens, it has been noted that the roots will often grow towards any perceived source of food. Sometimes, this can take the form of a campsite of travellers, or a well-established Outpost, that has now drawn the attention of a hungry Amanita Colossi.
 
The Amanita Colossi, through the use of its various spores, has been known [[Mooshroom Invasion Study|'''to infect bulls and trolls''']], seemingly turning them into subservient species. These animals will defend the area of the Amanita Colossi with their lives and removal of the spores or mushroom parasites will usually result in the death of the host. It is unknown whether these spores or mushrooms actually control the hosts in some way.

An Amanita Colossi is not a foe to be taken lightly. If one encounters a specimen whilst travelling alone, it is highly recommended to either simply leave it alone, or to re-group and form an party to eradicate it. Woodsmen, lumberjacks and other axe-wielding warriors may have an easier time quickly chopping through the woody stems and roots of these massive mushrooms.
