Caustic Spores (1/Day). Yestabrod releases spores in a 30-foot

is cured of the disease or dies. While infected in this way, the
creature can't be reinfected, and it must repeat the saving
throw at the end of every 24 hours, ending the infection on a
success. On a failure, the infected creature's body is slowly
taken over by fungal growth, and after three such failed saves,
