Color Change At the start of each round, the radlight cap changes color, going in order from red to yellow to green to blue and back to red, provided the radlight cap is alive and isn't black. Multiple radlight caps encountered within 100 feet of each other synchronize their color changes, such that all caps are the same color at the same time.
At the start of each round, if a radlight cap is within 100 feet of an object or creature that emits radiation, the radlight cap's color changes to black. While black, the radlight cap loses its Radlight aura and can't take actions or reactions.

Red Light, Green Light
Ayindilar elves claim that they originally cultivated radlight caps as an advanced warning system against radiation, and that the fungus’s other color changes are merely an unintended mutation. Regardless, their original function remains useful enough that the elves rarely eradicate growths of radlight caps. Rather, they teach this warning rhyme to those who must pass through a radlight forest: Red light stop, Yellow drop. Green light rush, Blue light hush. Black for terror, black for flight, For this way comes the sickness light.
