Especially for monks. Fungi allows them to solo effectively into the higher levels. It doesn't let other melee classes do that really. It'll help, especially until 40 or so, but you're not soloing a warrior into the 50s with a fungi unless you're inhumanly dedicated. Fungi benefits two classes the most: shaman and monk. For them, it's a valuable tool. For other classes, it's mostly a twink/self-PL gadget that they're better off swapping for a proper BP once they reach planar levels. The price is a bit on the high side here, but then so is pretty much everything.
