a) they are cheap. Not even one of them has cost 200 or more sun (I dont remember doom shrooms cost, so correct me if im wrong)

b) they have low hp. Is there any durable shroom? I dont remember any. Technically, Gloom-shroom costs 225 total sun for you to get him, excluding the Coffee Bean required to wake him up in the day. To be fair, he does Phat Beet's job almost 4 times better. Except for the fact that Phat Beet is far more practical at 150 sun and fast recharge, unlike Gloom-shroom who is 225 sun total and very slow recharge. However, Gloom-shroom has a higher DPS, and is generally more reliable. He is also able to take advantage of pumpkins, because pumpkin isn't in PvZ2. And Garlic is a lot better in PvZ1, so he can abuse that, too.

It's unfair to judge a plant based on the game it's in. If we're directly comparing Phat Beet and Gloom-shroom we need to compare them as-is, or at least in combination with plants that are in both games and behave the same. If Pumpkin were in PvZ2, would you still feel so strongly about Gloom-shroom being better? Given the higher DPS... Yes, I would.
