Spume-shroom

Spume-shrooms are aquatic auxiliary mushrooms that create large, temporary platforms to place your plants on.

Overview
When planted in water, Spume-shroom will immediately dissipate. In her wake, she leaves a large foamy region. Here you can plant your non-aquatic plants, similar to a Lily Pad.

However, after a minute, the foam disappears. Any plants on the platform will subsequently drop into the water and drown and die, unless they are amphibious.

Zombies wade through the foam. While they don't eat away at it, they are slowed down considerably.

Any waves, such as those created by Flood Orange or Pea Serpent, will push the spume forward or backwards, depending on the direction of the wave. This does not move the entire platform, however, but just the lanes affected.

If there are plants already occupying a tile, then the platform will form around them.

Spume-shroom is slightly based off of the Entoloma hochstetteri. Her name references spume, which is a name for the foam found in waves.

Strategies
For the same cost of a Lily Pad, Spume-shroom fulfills the same purposes. However, since Spume-shroom's platform is only temporary, high cost plants should not be planted on them. Lily Pad is more stable and permanent, so allocating any necessary plants onto it is advised. Spume-shroom is better suited for deploying your early defenses on water, while hopefully setting up shop on the land.
