This stage only occurs for Fungaloids created via spores!
When a Fungaloid is first formed through spores they will appear as a clump of the various
fungi that surrounded them before gaining sentience. During this stage the Fungaloid is very weak
and especially vunerable to external factors. In this stage the Fungaloid focuses on gaining better
control over their body while also searching for a suitable attachment.

The juvenille stage is most assosiated with that continuance of learning to control the body,
being an awkward stage where Fungaloids may grow addittional unwanted limbs while working
towards their ideal attachment(s). This stage mostly serves as a learning stage.
---
Once an adult, Fungaloids will begin to emit spores occasionally. At this stage control over
the body is confident but not perfect. Fungaloids at this stage are responcible for themselves
and at this point begin to make their way and place in their society.
---
Unlike the usual assosiation with the term elder, Fungaloid elders have perfected the
control over their body and are usually masters of their crafts being respected leaders
and protectors.
---
Ancients are very unique situations, while it is possible for each and every Fungaloid
to reach this stage it is very unlikely and the longer lifespan begins to take a hold of
their psyche. If Fungaloids at this stage aren't carfeul they can very easily descend down a
darker path, often times reverting to primative or feral ways. It is very important that Fungaloids
at this stage take care of themselves as to not lose themselves.
---
Only a handful of Fungaloids have lived to make it to this stage and an even smaller
amount are more than just a savage titan. By this point these Fungaloids are likely to have
out grown most societies. Not only by an insatiable hunger but also in literal size, with ancients
being akin to kaiju proportions on occasion, with this being the reason so little are still alive for
long after reaching this stage. However while this is the norm it is not impossible for Fungaloids to
maintain themselves and live normally, it is just extremely uncommon.
