My guild said that Brackenspore would be a real fungi to fight, but I wasn't lichen it very much, especially when the moss crept in and we didn't have mushroom to move.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
When a mushroom spawns in the raid, the only proper thing to call out is "There's a fungus among us."
Flamethrower duty
This is what I did
- be in range of 2-3 patches of moss
- use flamethrower
- immediately turn it off (prevents overheating)
- run to another 2+ patches
Rinse and repeat
I emphasize immediately because turning the flamethrower off for even one second to run to the nearby patches helped a lot w/ preventing overheating.
With this method we didn't hit the soft enrage of too many patches of creeping moss
