Sorrel had identified these things earlier as Violet Fungi.
Yes, but I don't think he told Nora'Luuu that. Come to think of it, what if Nora'Luuu is mildly colorblind, and can't see the color Violet? Then it'd be a sensitive topic for him, huh. Never thought of that, did you? What if he's really insecure because he can't tell Violet Fungi from Grey Fungi, and one of them is really delicious and the other isn't? Now what, Mister Condescending GM?
Totally kidding, though I don't think his identification of the fungus was ever vocalized. That, and Nora'Luuu doesn't know that Violet Fungi are filled with a deadly neurotoxin.
