Just noting here about this… mushroom eating stuff, in case it becomes relevant later. (First image is just to show the discoloration.)

Regarding the mushrooms, they are specifically native to Sumeru, though they’ve undergone some mutations due to the energy of the Chasm. There’s also Xamaran, the talking mushroom. This guy started hearing a voice telling him to eat mushrooms, and doing so gave him super strength. 

So I guess Sumeru having some kind of mushroom brainwashed zombie apocalypse is not out of the question. The researcher guy does say this kind of thing is known and can be easily cured with no repercussions, but that’s before the mushrooms start mutating.
