I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Deep Children, which are not Mycon; rather, they are tools used to create an ideal environment for the Mycon. So no, I don't think the Mycon could do that.
EDIT: I don't think they would do that anyways, because they would want to destroy the Kohr-Ah, not just hide and let them pass over.
I'm pretty sure that the Deep Children, Mycon and their Spaceships are all subspecies of the same thing.
IDK- I think the Mycon will do anything for self preservation and continuation, it is in their psychological profile.
<Fwiffo> The Mycon were biological tools of the Precursors. They had been programmed for terraforming, but when the Precursors vanished, the Mycons were left unattended. Over the following millenia, their programs drifted, forming the worship of Juffo-Wup.
The Deep Child is a specialized, genetically engineered Mycon spore pod.
I am Dugee
I am the purity monitor
I choose what buds are permitted to mature
and which must be eradicated
Your simple sexual process produces random mosaics of genetic instructions
yet with the simplicity of breath, I modify my own patterns
You humans improve a tool and double your capabilities
We Mycon improve ourselves and increase a thousand-fold.
This slew of quotes says a few things. Primarily that there is no racial distinction between the Children and the Mycon.

Ah, okay. So the may join then.
If the Deep Children spawn the more conventional Mycon, they may even follow that agreement to the letter, except for a few Deep Children inserted into a few planets to keep their race alive.

This is silly. The Kohr-Ah make that offer expecting rejection, so that they may cleanse. But they wouldn't seriously ally with anyone. If the Mycon "accepted" the Kohr-Ah's "alliance proposal," their first and only assigned task would be to cleanse themselves. When they inevitably refused, the Kohr-Ah would simply do what they were unwilling to.
Really, do you think the most coldly logical and genocidal race in the galaxy would be that gullible?

Nonetheless, asking the Mycon to cleanse themselves as their first and only task really doesn't construe lying.
Maybe logical was the wrong choice of word, though within the Kohr-Ah's twisted worldview, everything they do is perfectly logical.
