IMO, the mushrooms that should return are Puff, Sun, Fume (as a cheaper, shorter-ranged Laser Bean), Ice (it would be nice to have a way of freezing all the zombies without using Plant Food, even if it takes a while to recharge), Doom and, if Garlic or Pumpkin are reintroduced, Gloom. I agree that Hypno-shroom is almost useless in the first game, but it may be useful in Dark Ages, if there are any strong zombies that eat and in Far Future, if it can take control on the machines.

I used Scaredy-shrooms in the original, because of how cheap they are.Two of them in a lane and a Fume-shroom deal a good amount of damage.It will be more useful in Dark Ages, if the Puff-shroom will indeed disappear after some time (which I really hope that is a scrapped idea).

Even if Fume-shroom returns, Laser Bean will remain superior.Ice-shroom should be buffed to freeze zombies for as long as a boosted Iceberg would.

I completely agree on the Gloom-shroom part.
