Spores (Ex): Elder workers have access to distress, reproduction, and rapport spores (save DC 12 where applicable).

Skills and Feats (Ex): A myconid gains skills and feats as though it were a fey. A myconid of any kind has EHD as though it were a Tiny plant.

Elder workers usually spray intruders with rapport spores rather than hiding, as more junior myconids do. They are quite willing to communicate rather than take aggressive action. If forced to fight, they try to eliminate the most formidable-looking foes first. If more capable myconids join the battle, elder workers use much the same tactics that average workers do.
