Prismatic Mold

Known as prismatic mold, this multicolored fungus faintly glows with swirling patterns, casting dim light.

Volatile and easily disturbed, prismatic mold emits a colorful burst of spores when a creature moves within 5 feet of it. Each of these spore clouds is a different color and fills a 10-foot area centered on a corner of the mold’s square. The spore clouds each manifest a different effect related to the color of the spore cloud.

Once triggered, prismatic mold continues to emit these spore clouds for as long as a creature is within 5 feet and for 1d4 rounds after the creature leaves the area. To determine which color spore cloud the prismatic mold ejects, roll 1d8 and consult the Prismatic Mold table.

Targeting a prismatic mold with dispel magic instantly withers it into mundane and permanently inert (albeit still colorful) mold.
