I think the Card-carrying member skill name should define what organization/entity Grayscale is a member of. Being an AOClyte is different than being an AynRandian Priest.
I have no problems with mycomancy as a specialty of phytomancy, and we could probably treat it as an expertise with all things mushroom. The zombie angle is interesting. Referring back to the ha ka ba of Post #6, I could see specific enchanted mushroom concoctions dulling the ba of subjects, effectively turning them into ka-zombies -- entities stripped of Personality and highly malleable. The concoction would need to be renewed regularly, though, and strong Personality subjects would be more difficult to subdue.
