Central Stalk Weakness.

When exposed central stalk can be attacked and destroyed (AC 13; hp 50; vulnerability to acid cold and fire). If central stalk is destroyed mulcher has disadvantage on attacks and can’t use Expose Stalk until it regrows one at end of next long rest.

Disturbed Soil (Exposed Stalk Only).

Ground within 20' is difficult.

Mulcher Pit.

If it burrows 20'+ straight toward a creature can dig 10 ft. diameter 20' deep pit beneath it. Each Large or smaller creature in pit’s area: fall into mycelium-lined pit and land prone taking 14 (4d6) piercing damage from spiked mycelium + fall damage (DC 15 Dex doesn't fall). Can make one Mycelium Spike vs. prone creature in pit as bonus action.

Stalk Regeneration (Exposed Stalk Only).

Gains 15 hp at start of its turn if it has at least 1 hp.

Bonus Actions

Expose Stalk.
