Thanks to much appreciated help from the community I have finally been able to fix up these creatures for a release. The breakthrough came from Psymoniser, so I want to personally thank him for his invaluable input.
Here's the new description for y'all.

1. DESCRIPTION
===============
This mod takes several community resources as well as my own work and adds eight new types of monsters as summonable creatures.
Air Atronach: Mentioned in lore but not included in Morrowind. Watch out for their burden spell!
Bone Golem: This fleshless undead golem will directly damage your health with it's Deathbloom spell.
Flesh Atronach: The equivilant of a Poison Atronach, this daedra was featured in Oblivion SI.
Iron Atronach: This atronach has no spellcasting ability but is immune to shock. Choose your spells carefully
Swamp Myconid: Found in the Bitter Coast Region, this strange creature is the weakest of them all, but don't take it too lightly...
Telvanni Myconid: Created from the minds of powerful wizards, these creatures are a formiddable foe.
Ash Golem: The Ash Golem is often summoned by powerful Mabrigash to ward off unwanted attention.
Crystal Golem: This animated mass of wizard crystal is a foe to be reckoned with.
Go to Mona's Spell Boutique, just outside the front gates of Tel Branora to buy some Summoning spells.
===============
2. Requirements
===============
Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmoon
========================
3. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN
========================
Extract the esp file to c:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind\Data Files
=====================
4. PLAYING THE PLUGIN
=====================
From the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box next to the Atronach Expansion.esp or Atronach Expansion X.esp
"Atronach Expansion.esp" - This version only includes the spellshop with the summonable creatures.
"Atronach Expansion X.esp" - This version includes the summons. And also places all the creatures throughout Morrowind in the leveled lists. Use a leveled list merger!
This mod has been cleaned with TESAME and Enchanted Editor. So no worries.
To see the new atronachs, go to Tel Branora and you will find a Spell Shop outside of the front gateway (it's under a parasol). The mage there will sell you spells to summon all of the new atronachs. Or if you are using the 'X' version. Then you will also encounter the creatures throughout Morrowind in the leveled lists.
===============
5. SAVE GAMES
===============
You should be fine
============================
6. CONFLICTS / KNOWN ERRORS
============================
Anything which places a building in the exact same spot as the Spell Boutique.
And if you are using Atronach Expansion X.esp, then also use a leveled list merger to avoid conflicts.
