I've uploaded a final version. This one has no scripts (I was disatisfied with how my script functioned, it was fine but wasn't how I wanted them to work) This version uses packages based on http://haishao.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/lamp-follower.html - haishao's lamp follower. All credits to them for the packages. This version does mean you can't dismiss them, but it should play nicely with follower mods, dogs and other pets. Before you had to use a mod that allowed multiple pets and didn't work how I wanted it to. If you don't like this change, the other versions are still available.
Regarding effects: the final version has a subtle glow 'mushroomy' effect, toned down from the last version. I'm flexible on this so if you liked another effect I can make another effect version.
I also cleaned up the folder structure, no unnecessary files, smaller download.
Have fun.
edit: small update made dragonborn a 'hard' requirement, without it and dawnguard you will crash at startup. it just added the mushrooms to factions so they wont be attacked.
I downloaded the ''Author's Custom Version'' version, and the purple mushroom appears which is supposed to be white (I have all the DLC and USLEEP).
Another question: What you wanted to say about that version, does it mean that when installed they are already spread throughout skyrim? Because I didn't see them there either. Or do you mean that one can repart them with the spell?
Finally, Later, I instaled the version where they carry for you, but you can dismiss them, without orc voices. So know if its posible maintain the ''Author's Custom version'' at the same time.
pd: Same issue with purple mushroom in this version too.
Right near the beach boy-eee!!! It would be perfect if the mushrooms could be harvested for alchemical ingredients in the form spores. But the player character gets high each time you activate them. Applying color filters on the screen and making the vision blurry, while playing a short psychedelic tune.
Also, the mushrooms could have a small chance to create spore novas in combat, with a random chance of poison, paralysis, frenzy or healing.
And enemies killed by the mushrooms, could have a chance to spawn the rare mushroom armor for the player.
I know, I know. But it was fun to entertain the idea.
I love the idea of this mod, I haven't tried it out yet though. I wish they could give off puffs of poison while in battle. Hmm... what about a summoned kamikaze mushroom spell that would charge enemies and then explode with poison damage, or... trippy damage to make your opponents dizzy or wander off in a daze?? anyways... thanks for this if you're still around :D I'm looking forward to trying them out, they look so cute!
I installed this mod and I have been enjoying it. A mushroom companion is the exact thing my alchemist needed to feel complete in her theme and color scheme. I have several issues with this mod however, issues that are not apparent in the mod description. I assumed I would be able to recruit and dismiss the mushrooms whenever I wanted, but this is not the case. Upon leaving Helgen, the mushrooms all rush to your position as fast as they can run, and follow you forever. If you want fewer mushrooms you have to delete them since they cannot be killed or dismissed. I just wanted one follower, so I used mark for delete to remove the rest, and kept the blisterwart. I am not posting to bash the author's work, I just want people to know how exactly this mod is going to function when it is installed.
It was a thoughtful decision to make these mushrooms not activate traps, and I appreciate it very much. They also Do not interfere with stealth at all, the AI simply ignores them, and that is nice.
If the author hadn't said that the meshes belong to someone else I would dropbox my SE (plain) version for you. It's not hard to convert at all. You just need to use NifOptimizer which is super easy to update the meshes and then save the mod (plugin) within Creation Kit. Google a tutorial or on youtube for how to convert Oldrim mods to SE. It's quite easy if it takes a bit to pick through the video tutorial. Actually here is my notes for you:

hey ntblood, could u still upload ur port? the modauthor of the original model allowed it, as long as u credit him. U can check it here under permissions and credits: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/65134/ would be great if u could do that. tyy

I hope you can kindly solve my doubt.
Thank you for this wonderfull mod!
I dont see any and any links to one is a trick to get to someone's Discord :/
I gave that person permission to port to SE, I didn’t give permission to host privately on discord and use it to advertise their discord.
If I have time I’ll just try and port it myself sometime.
