[10-30] Withered Basidium.
Withered Basidium is a quest in Zangarmarsh in which players report to members of their faction that the fungal giants of the Dead Mire are withering rapidly and may soon die out.
The quest is started by the item [Withered Basidium], which drops off Withered Giants in the Dead Mire.
Objectives
Bring the Withered Basidium to Reavij at Swamprat Post.
- [Withered Basidium] (provided)
Description
A close inspection of the basidium reveals a number of indentations that might have once held something. The alien mass of fungus presents something of a puzzle. It's far from healthy, but you have little clue as to what function it might normally perform.
Perhaps someone more familiar with the denizens of Zangarmarsh would be able to tell you more about the basidium.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 2 70
- 10050 XP
- +250 reputation with Darkspear Trolls

Completion
It looks like the basidium of a boglord, but I haven't seen one in this condition before. I'd heard that the giants in the Dead Mire had begun to wither, but it's far more advanced than I expected.
The Dead Mire was once a lake like the others in the marsh, and it served as the spawning ground for the giants. With the waters receding, it seems the changes are preventing the giants from sporing. If this continues, the giants may disappear entirely.
