Will alcohol kill a violet fungus?

[Falcon X]

We have an awakened violet fungus that some dwarves are going to try to get drunk.
What will happen?

I know in real life, alcohol isn’t exactly healthy for a fungus, though you usually use upwards of 60% to try to kill it.

[edit] Will it get drunk?

[unseenmage]

Arms and Equipment Guide has rules for treating booze as a mild poison.

Is it immune to poison or Fort saves? If yes then it wont get drunk.

If it can be poisoned then it could get alchohol poisoned.

Common drinks? The game treats it both as food and poison, so a fungus would actually enjoy the easy to digest liquid. Fungi don't easily die from contact with alcohol, we use it to prevent microfungi from setting in and growing. A large fungus is basically imune to anything but prolonged complete submersion in concentrated alcohol - and it lasts much longer than a human or dwarf would anyways. Fungi are Plants with Plant Traits, so your Violet Fungus will outdrink all of them and then joke about their inability to deal with a little poison much weaker than his own.

That sounds pretty smart Kayblis, so I’ll assume it’s correct. Thanks!

Now I just have to figure out if it gets tipsy. The rules on awakening plants aren’t too specific....
Maybe i can find somewhere that talks about ents or mycanoids drinking....

[edit] Just read that Tolkien’s ents could get drunk.

Alcohol functions as a poison (Arms and Equipment Guide, page 32). Plants have poison immunity. Violet Fungus is a plant.
