Ok! It took me a while to actually get this going, but here's my fungus man

It's made of shurikens and muffins, and has a Fungus Covered Great Staff! I couldn't think of anything a player can drop that would be red, but I did know about shurikens to mimic the white mushroom body. Because of how shurikens orient themselves north/south I had to have a fully horizontal staff grip so the shurikens made sense visually.
I wanted to fill in the body, but that ground despawning timer is mean. It really was a speed challenge. Hope this submission isn't too late for the judges / community to see it.
Thanks for posting the fun challenge! We got some amazing art out of it.
