Cave mob idea: Mushlings

Mushlings would be miniature mushroom people that spawn in groups and are neutral, similar to zombified piglins. Imagine a small walking mushroom with little stumpy legs and arms, large eyes, but no mouth. If threatened they could release spore clouds in self defense that act like lingering potions, inflicting hindering/harmful status effects before running away. 

They could have some good interactions with the player, like releasing spores with positive effects if you give them food or something they like.

They could be found in fungal cave biomes living amongst the mushrooms instead of having villages or settlements. This is not the place to describe a mushroom cave biome, so just imagine a biome with the same density and diversity of the lush caves, but fungi-themed.

    About a fungi cave, I LOVE the idea, and think minecraft needs more of these.

    To be honest, the main reason I put them as neutral and able to attack (more of a defense mechanism) is I'd rather them be able to defend themselves than just be these little, cute, defenseless things. Plus there really isn't enough neutral mobs in the game.

    I feel as if you should be able to barter with these mushroom creatures. Give them some Amethyst or Copper and they'll give something back that'll help you live in the caves. It could be a nice compramise sense I dont think Mojang will be making underground villages any time soon.

    I want to change it to make the player able to tame them instead of just trading misc items for effects, but putting the post back under the line of fire by editing it is intimidating...

    There could be a variant for the brown mushroom and the toadstool.

    What if they actually appeared when a mushroom grows for to long in a situation that would prevent it from becoming a huge mushroom? There could be two kinds for the two mushrooms.

    I might implement this concept in a Mod I'm working on that has the primary theme of Fungi related things being added to the game cause this concept is just too cute and I'm not sure Mojang would actually add this to the vanilla game.
