QuoteA breathtakingly beautiful forest filled with various forms of luminescent fungi and mushrooms.... you can't help but feel as if you're being watched.

The Shroomstalk Forest is currently amazing, but I think that maybe it could become even more if the quote above is better represented. I thought that it would look more eerie and magic if it got a denser atmosphere aided by a slightly darker general illumination and the proposition of light spots here and there upon mushroom growths, coming from the fey green light to the more withering purples here and there. Glowflies popping around the water streams and mushroom circles would enhance the feeling.

Maybe some random pixie could also be spotted there with luck?

Glowflies would be neat, but I think the general purple lighting itself does help show some of the glow. That's not to say a few specificly visible glowing mushrooms wouldn't be cool too considering the Jannathan blood rituals, bound souls, and fey presence of the area. I imagine that most if not all of the mushrooms in the forest already have some sort of radiance to them, like the picture I posted in the forests thread. Leme go find that....

This one. Though in the specific post I am showing taken from the thread it was talking about the fey guarded mushrooms that people pledged their souls into in primal Jannathan blood ritual.

Yeah... that image is my thought on it.

And it can't be truly visible or enhanced if the general environment isn't a bit darkened.

I agree on the glowflies. They are awesome stuff and we still got so few of them.

Another idea: to add some misty fog on the water streams and pool to add up on the mystery feel.
