Mutant-shroom

Mutant-shroom is a mushroom that appears in only the first Plants vs. Zombies. It is unlocked at level 7-3 in that game (where Diamondhead Zombie is encountered). When planted, it simply digs into the ground, causing the ground to turn purpleish, and if any other plant is planted on the tile that it was planted on, that plant becomes twice as fast, with the cost of exploding like a Cherry Bomb after half a minute.

Trivia

 * Its name is a portmanteau of the words 'mutant' and 'mushroom'.
 * Mutated plants turn orange and have Jalapeno eyes.
 * The idea of mutated plants turning orange and having Jalapeno eyes is inspired by the creator's favourite deleted plant, Imi-peno.
 * It's not like it matters to you, but this is the creator's 8th plant and 1st plant from his current account.
