Card description
''Believes revenge is best served. Period.''

With
Use this early in the game if you are using many mushrooms. Using More Spore also helps to get up some Button Mushrooms which can be destroyed easily, which in turn activates the effect of Punish-Shroom.

This is crucial in a mushroom deck as it will make an aftermath if the mushrooms are mass-destroyed. It will cause a severe reaction if the zombie hero uses something like The Chickening to destroy all the mushrooms.

Note that using a Mushroom trick like More Spore and Doom-Shroom counts as a mushroom being destroyed.

Against
This should be destroyed as early as possible individually. When you are going to use The Chickening or something that uses mass damage to destroy all the mushrooms on the field, it is best to destroy this first with a simple Bungee Plumber first to minimise the aftermath.

Trivia

 * Its description is a reference to the phrase, "Revenge is best served cold."
 * Its name may be a pun on the word "Punisher".
 * Its description also references how lines narrated by Katniss Everdeen end with the word "Period" in the Hunger Games novels.
 * When Doom-Shroom or More Spore is used, Punish-Shroom also activates its effect, because tricks are one-time effect cards, so a mushroom trick being used counts as a "destroyed" mushroom.
 * It oddly does not have a destroyed animation.
