You guys are all talking like one would use Witch Hazel as their single offensive plant. Even as a support, it's not that effective as you need to put in front because of  its short range thus risking it. Also you need at least one or two columns of sun producers and if you do indeed put it at front then you definitely need two columns plus one for defensive nuts. That leaves only 1 column of your offensive plant before you are at the edge of the lawn. And let's be real, the zombies that get transformed into mushrooms will be of no use as they also will be eaten right away and as we all saw, if the zombie dies on a tile that already has a plant on it, the mushroom doesn't spawn. So all in all, it's not a single offense plant under all circumstances and still not that effective as a support. Does destroy zombies outright though like a chomper (And puts a free plant on the lawn if the tile isn't occupied), but with multilane and less time between "chomps". Can still see that there's a niche for it.

Possibly used as a good support to get rid of only the most annoying nuiscances that continue to persist on your lawn. Not the best plant, but certainly will have it's own niche. It is a somewhat okay plant against other zombies but the reason it is advertised against "Wizards", I want to see how she acts against it in a level filled with them. Also, as I said, spawning two plants that get eaten outright because:


 * One disappears after some time anyway and does little damage and has little HP.


 * Other can potentially give sun but in most cases will be eaten before getting the chance to do so.

So those free plants are useless in the end. I'd rather have her spawn a Hypno Shroom or Chili Bean or Garlic which can actually benefit us from it getting eaten but no. Two useless mushrooms it is. It has it's own niche but that doesn't get it far being a Premium plant especially.
