First Look: For its size, the Fungal Growth figure is pretty busy with a surprising amount of detail. The core element is the old tree (or maybe just stump), surrounded by crystal growths and a couple of mini-Kinoshrooms. After finishing the last batch of Kinoshroom figures, I decided that I wanted to add more variety to the remaining mushroom figures, and that carried into the Fungal Growth as well.
Painting: I stuck with the same off-white color for the mushroom bodies, but varied their caps with greens, purples, blues, and reds. The stump is a dark brown with medium brown details (particularly around the face), with a gray stone base. The crystals were painted with a mid-to-light green transition. A few brown washes highlighted the details on the base and the mushroom bodies.
Conclusion: Some of the color combinations I picked don't stand out as much as I expected, but overall I like how they look. The green crystals turned out fairly nice considering I rushed the transitions. I think a stronger edge highlight for the crystals would help definition, so I might go back and add those (at least for the larger crystals, which have sharper edges).
