Myc Cellium, also known as Magic Myc or just Myc, is a psychic mushroom-like organism from a hive mind deep inside Hollow Earth. They have a dry, sarcastic demeanor and the ability to read peoples' minds. Their species is responsible for giving humanity intelligence by offering their spores to ancient apes for consumption. They are voiced by Brett Gelman.
Appearance[]
Physical appearance[]
Myc is the only one of the main group who appears totally unhuman.
They have six blue tentacles at the bottom of their body that they use to move and grab things, appearing to be able to move just as efficiently as humans. The blood of their tentacles also acts as a strong simulating drug. Their tentacles also appear to be their main gateway to his psychic powers of mind reading.
Where their tentacles join to their body, a large and translucent pod acts as a holding place for their bio sorbitrate, which can be used to erase memories. In order to extract this chemical, a specially designed tank "milks" their tentacles. In the final episodes of the series, Reagan and her father use Myc's "milking tank" to enter her memories, which may be partially because of the memory erasing chemicals they produce.
Their head is akin to a large mushroom top, with small sprouts at the top and a purple rim around the edge. They can smoke through this rim despite there being no "mouth" or visible orifices. It is not clear whether they speak through this "head".
Under their head, a large and luminescent ball connects their head to a long "stalk" which makes up most of their height. It is not clear what this ball's purpose is for.
History[]
Myc is seen to be a “hive school” graduate of 6300. In "Reagan & Mychelle’s High School Reunion", Myc was portrayed as the geek in high school, in which is noticed on how his high school love interest Stem-mantha and a jock-like mushroom. There is not enough information to describe their relationship in hive/high school. He is thousands of years old.
Powers and abilities[]

- Physiology: Myc also provides pure bio sorbitrate, a chemical the company uses for their memory eraser guns, which they have to literally milk him for.
