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.

This quest is pointless.... I mean yea, its alot of Rep for just having to do a turn in..... But whats the point of having a item drop to start a quest, that requires you to fly for 15 seconds and talk to a NPC.
Would have been nice if it opened a series of quests or led into something more significant.
