Fungal Wastes



"My understanding of Hallownest can be a little vague, but below those leafy caverns is a fungal grove, once home to peaceful creatures not quite bug and not quite plant.

Sounds almost worth a visit no? Well there's a downside, the dreadful stench! A noxious odour fills the place."

- Elderbug

Noxious caverns filled with spores. Unlike the bug inhabitants of the rest of Hallownest, the inhabitants of the Wastes are mushroom-like in physicality. It holds the Mantis Village to the south, and the main entrance to the City of Tears to the east.
