Card description
"If I had a hammer... Wait a sec... I AM a hammer!"

With
Smoosh-Shroom, similar to Smashing Pumpkin, is a mundane plant, as it has pretty much average stats for a 5-sun cost plant, and with no traits nor abilities. It does hit very hard, but its lack of useful traits and abilities make it outclassed by other 5-sun cost plants like Power Flower or Whipvine. If you want to use it, play stat-boosting cards like Fertilize or Buff-Shroom to make it stronger.

Against
Smoosh-Shroom has a lot of strength, and can take out a large chunk of health at anything it attacks. However, you can take advantage of its strength at the same time and instantly destroy it with Rocket Science or Cut Down to Size. Locust Swarm can also instantly destroy this plant. Any zombie with 4 or more strength, or with the Deadly trait can instantly destroy it. However, remember that the zombie that faces Smoosh-Shroom is going to be either destroyed, or badly damaged unless you destroy it with a bonus attack.
