Explorations in Clayland Part 10: Strange 'Srooms

The woods are full of forms foreign to foragers...  

Even stranger mushroom folk are coming out of the woodwork.

First comes a mushroom (top left corner) carrying a bowl of strange fiery liquid.  After it comes... wait.  Is that mushroom carrying its own head?  Oh my.  Below them, two spike-headed mushrooms knot together a tangled vine.  To their right, another shoots vines out of its arms into the ground.  No, it arms are vines.  We've been tangled up with woody elemental powers.

Climbing out of the glooms comes two neon forms.  The left-sided mushroom is clad in a bright pink robe and carries a sword on his back.  A swordmaster from a distant mushroom isle.  His companion is much more unsettling.  Unnaturally tall for a mushroom, a bolt of bright pink cloth covers its face and torso.  A ghost, or something even stranger?

The sound of loud footsteps echoes in the grove.  Two of the largest mushrooms yet stomp in.  On the left, a pink-fire mage wields a massive staff (by mushroom standards).  On the right, a green mushroom displays no unusual features for a mushroom, save a massive size.  In comparison to a typical mushroom (see bottom image) this thunderous fungerous is over twice as tall and over five times as heavy.


Lastly, three more mushrooms clamber out of a tree stump.  One carries an entire tree sapling on its back.  Another is covered by webs and hosts a protective spider.  A third--well out of its element--has a massive stalk of air-bubble kelp growing from its cap.  
Strange mushrooms abound!

Bonus:
A miniature trash elemental waddles in on stubby legs.  A banana peel covers its head, and the rest of its body is covered by other such garbage.  Looking at the back, you can just make out an arm and foot beneath all the refuse.
