Sun-shroom

The Sun-shroom is an alternate to the Sunflower for use at night when Sun is more difficult to come by. It is introduced on the first level of the Night stage

Usage
Place as you would a Sunflower, but be aware that in exchange for its cheaper cost, the Sun-shroom only produces 15 Sun (instead of 25) for the first two minutes, after which the Sun-shroom grows to full size and begins to produce 25 Sun at a time.

Suburban Almanac Entry
Sun-shroom

Sun-shrooms give small sun at first and normal sun later.

Sun production: low, then normal

Sleeps during the day

Sun-shroom hates sun. He hates it so much that when it builds up in his system, he spits it out as fast as he can. He just won't abide it. To him, sun is crass.

Cost: 25

Recharge: fast

Strategy
Sun-shrooms are vital during the night. Even though they only produce 15 sun at first, they quickly grow to full size. Additionally, because of the lower cost, two can be planted immediately giving an income of 30 sun. The Sun-shroom should be used on every regular night and fog level due to the lack of sun.


 * Note: In Survival: Night (Hard) and Survival: Fog (Hard), these should be replaced with Sunflowers, although in Survival: Night (Hard) Sunflowers can also be used from the beginning.

Trivia

 * The puffy cheeks and eyes and the mushroom cap of the Sun-shroom make it look slightly like Toad, a character from the Mario franchise. Toad's head very much resembles a mushroom or, more accurately, a toadstool.
 * The Sun-shroom is the only plant that grows and change it's sun production.
