The Fungi from Yuggoth is a 1984 role-playing game adventure published by Chaosium for Call of Cthulhu.

Plot summary

The Fungi from Yuggoth is an adventure in which the player characters start from routine beginnings, and become embroiled in macabre occurences.[1]

Publication history

The Fungi from Yuggoth was written by Keith Herber, with art by Chris Marrinan, and was published by Chaosium Inc. in 1984 as an 80-page book, with a second printing published in 1987.[2]

Reception

Richard Lee reviewed several adventures including Curse of the Chthonians and The Fungi from Yuggoth for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Curse and Fungi are worthy supplements indeed: well-detailed and original. With Call of Cthulhu so capably documented and now so reasonably priced, the world of Twenties style and pulp-fiction atmosphere must loom as a considerable threat to the more conventional RPGs."[1]
