With
This can either be an incredibly hard one-time hitter or a more expensive Lil' Buddy, depending on how many plants you have on the field. It is best to play this when there are many plants on the field, since it gets a lot of attack from its effect. Plants with the Team-Up trait, like Shellery,, or Shroom for Two, and plants that can buff Mushroom tribe plants such as Buff-Shroom help boost this plant even further. Planting it behind said Team-up plants can also protect it.

Because plants play after zombies, try to plant this when you are having a lot of plants and on an empty lane, it can deal massive damage to the zombie hero and makes the battle finish faster. Or you can combine this with or  to clear that lane, making advantage for you. Increasing its health to help it survive longer is also not a bad choice.

Whatever you do, though, do not plant Mushroom Ringleader alone. Despite being a plant, it does not count towards its own buff. The result is wasting your Mushroom Ringleader and ending up with only 1, and no damage.

Against
This plant has an incredibly low health stat, so any damaging/health-reducing card such as Nibble, Acid Rain, Pied Piper or Conga Zombie can easily destroy this plant, as long as it is not boosted. Rocket Science and Cut Down to Size helps too when this gets too out of control.

Trivia

 * This plant can achieve a maximum of 18 from its ability.
