Not sure where it was mentioned, but no way is Gore Magala a fungus. The overall body shape, the six limbs, even five digits on each one - it clearly has relatively recent evolutionary history with Elder Dragons like Teostra. Fungi would have diverged millions and millions of years ago even in MH world (we know they have fairly traditional mushrooms). And there's not the slightest realistic chance of parallel evolution bringing the two domains in line to that extent.

I can accept Gore having an unusual reproductive strategy though.
