Spore

A spore is the basic projectile fired by Puff-shrooms, Scaredy-shrooms, and Sea-shrooms. Spores are the mushroom equivalent of peas, without a flaming or frozen variety. There are two kinds of spores: Puff-shroom spores, and Scaredy-shroom spores. Scaredy-shroom spores are slightly larger and more ranged than Puff-shroom spores, but they cannot be shot at close range, because the Scaredy-shroom hides. All plants that shoot spores cost 25 sun or less.

Trivia

 * In the online version of Plants vs. Zombies, when a zombie dies and a Puff-shroom spore doesn't hit it, it can hit a zombie farther than its usual range rather than disappearing. This also happens on the DS version.
 * The spores look similar to fumes, but only fumes can pass through shields.
 * Although fumes look like multiple spores, it does the same damage as one spore.
 * However, in PvZ2, fumes now deal damage equivalent to 2 spores.
 * Although the Sea-shroom is green in color, its spore is purple just like those shots by Puff-shrooms and Scaredy-shrooms.
 * The Sea-shroom, the Cactus, the Cob Cannon, and the Cattail are the only plants whose projectiles are not similar color as the plants
