Why do I have the impression that Coffee Beans will be like Plant Food (a resource that you can get through zombies, but that doesn't take one of your slots), in case you want to use items from days? That is, IF they decide to go with the Coffee Bean in the first place; otherwise, with all the new plants out there, you'd rarely be using the mushrooms. It's the same as in the first game, where all of a sudden ALL your plants (except for, probably, Tall-Nuts and Wall-Nuts because the whole purpose of them is to block?) cannot act, and you're forced to use Mushrooms only until you get Coffee Bean. Since Chili Bean pretty much took over Coffee Bean, chances are they'll act as power-ups.

That also means you'll probably get more mushrooms in the event the Dark Ages are released. That, or...maybe Crazy Dave finds how to use magic and transforms all your plants into mushroom equivalents? That's less likely, but it could be a possibility... Still, I believe it'll be getting a whole bunch of new mushrooms at the beginning, and blocking another whole bunch of them.
