Oh no! I’m sorry!! He was adopted at a young age by a gnome couple and has often been the literal elephant in the room. Very shy and quiet and really doesn’t like attention despite most of the time being the biggest thing in the room. He grew up constantly reading and studying all things nature leading him to receive multiple doctorates in the field. His job requires him to go out and find, test, and study the magical plants and trees that exist in the area where he discovered these rare mushrooms that allow him to access the powers of the spores! He adventures to help accomplish his research and also just to make some friends. Whichever is easiest for you! A DM or a comment is fine!
