TheWoWDBMy 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.

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
