The tag alias #69325 myconid -> fungi_fauna has been rejected.

Reason: myconid only has 18 posts, and means the same thing as fungi_fauna

EDIT: The tag alias myconid -> fungi_fauna (forum #400589) has been rejected by @CoffeeCo.

Seems like this is actually a Dungeons & Dragons species. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Myconid

Maybe implication is better then.

I heard it used in an anime so I thought it was a common fantasy term.

It's a specific species of anthropomorphic mushroom. While depictions vary, there's still definitely things in the fungi_fauna tag that wouldn't be relevant to people looking for myconids. Aliasing it away would be like aliasing khajiit to felid.

Yeah, I understand. What about implication instead of alias?

create implication myconid (23) -> fungi_fauna (1821)

Reason: As regsmutt said, not every fungi_fauna is myconid, but every myconid is fungi_fauna, right?

How strictly can Myconids be defined? WoTC hasn't been as zealous about policing Myconids as other mushrooms. I don't think the exact dnd corpse stealing, psychic spore spreading, mushroom people we know and love are the only thing the tag should refer to. But without that, is myconid any more specific than saying "mushroom humanoid"?

I thought myconid refers to these kinds of characters. https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/116642383
In case you can't visit the link, these characters look like they're humans wearing a mushroom hat. Something like toad_(mario) though the head is more realistic.
On the other hand, on the link scaliespe pasted, they don't look like a human at all

And posts tagged under myconid on e6 right now are kinda both?

well, those are all still under the blanket of fungi_humanoid.

but if we intend to keep myconid we shouldn't imply it to fungi_humanoid, because taurs.

This needs a typo correction from fangi->fungi but otherwise should work.

Fixed. Thanks!

Oh, that's fangi, not fungi. Make sure to fix that so the implication can go through.

It's not terribly uncommon for anime to borrow things from fantasy and take it in a totally different direction. It could arguably be split up, reserving myconid for the actual D&D depictions and moving the anime humanoid things to mushroom_humanoid, or we could just leave it as-is since even D&D depictions seem to vary a fair bit between the game's different versions and years of fan art.
