The Fungal Icthyoid is a Pre-Hardmode summon weapon that can be obtained from fishing in the Glowing Mushroom biome with a 1/27 (3.70%) chance. On use, it summons multiple of spores that slowly home in on nearby enemies and disappear for a few seconds when attacking an enemy or being active. The mushrooms inflict 5 summon tag damage for the minion's next hit.

Due to the tag damage, the lack of requiring a minion slot to function, and the continuous mana cost required to fire, it functions as a mix between a whip and a magic weapon.

Its best modifier is Mythical.
