The Mycete people are a race of intelligent and mobile mushrooms.
When they attack another race, they do so by modifying the
victim’s genome surreptitiously. The Envoy is particularly adept at
this, being able to synthesize DNA in his own personal
biocomputer—in vivo. His race is divided into clans, however, and
not all support the rapacious acquisition of new converts by any
and all means.
