Chinese English 平顶菇本想安安静静地晒晒阳光，却总是被人拿来修马路。它表示说“下水道下面可冷了”。 Flat-shroom originally wants to quietly bask in the sunlight, but is always used to repair roads. It says that "it's cold down in the sewers."

Flat-shroom (平顶菇; pinyin: Píng Dǐng Gū) is the first plant obtained in Steam Age in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It can be only planted on sewers, although those planted on steam sewers will get flung out by the steam after a while. Unlike what most would assume from its Almanac description, Flat-shroom cannot block the steam by itself and will still be damaged by the steam. However, if the steam is removed (by Lotus Root, Blover or Hurrikale), Flat-shroom will be able to block off the steam for a additional 4 seconds before the steam comes back. When planted on transportational sewers, it acts as a blocker preventing zombies from entering and exiting the sewers for a limited time, until it gets eaten. It is only usable in Steam Age. It is an environment modifier.

Origins

It is based on a mushroom, the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus. It is likely based on the fly agaric (Amanita muscaria), or fly amanita. Its literal name, "Flat Top-shroom", is a reference to the fact that the pileus, or cap of the mushroom appears to be flattened.

Plant Food upgrade

Plant Food ability (animated)

When fed Plant Food, Flat-shroom launches 1-2 more Flat-shrooms onto any open sewers.

Costumed

When fed Plant Food, Flat-shroom launches 2-3 more Flat-shrooms instead of 1-2 onto any open sewers.

Strategies

Despite the overall underwhelming effects of this plant, Flat-shroom can be helpful when used in conjunction with Lotus Shooter should healing options are not present. Steam comes back normally in about 8 seconds after being removed, Flat-shroom however, extends this to about 12 seconds, a massive time bonus. Considering Lotus Shooter takes 15 seconds to recharge, it can save you time to plant another one down on another steam sewer to absorb the steam, not to mention the extended time allows Lotus Shooter to last longer overall as it still takes damage from the steam while absorbing and will interrupt it's current attack to absorb the steam, which can spell certain death to it if a zombie is close to it, especially on hard mode.

Flat-shroom is decently viable in blocking transportation sewers, although outclassed by defensive plants, Flat-shroom is free and recharges faster, and can stall zombies should it work properly.

Trivia

• Flat-shroom occasionally fails to block some of the zombies from entering and exiting the transportational sewers.
• It resembles Doom-shroom in terms of appearance.
• Even though it is straight in images, its seed packet shows it in the position that it is in when it is planted on a sewer.
• When Flat-shroom is dancing, its underside in the sewer is gone. It is unknown if this is a glitch.
• It is currently the only Chinese-exclusive plant to be world-exclusive.
• There is a glitch where if friendly zombies enters a transportation sewer Flat-shroom will begin taking damage and eventually eaten.
