Murkadamia Nut is a shadow plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 first introduced the 8.3.1 update. It blocks off zombies identically to Wall-nut, but only has slightly more health than an Infi-nut.
When powered by Moonflower or Conceal-mint, Murkadamia Nut surrounds itself with gelatin, this gelatin heals itself over time like an Infi-nut and can damage zombies that eat it like an Endurian.
Contents
Origins

It is based on the macadamia, a commercially important nut that is indigenous to Australia.
Its name is a portmanteau of "murk," a darkness or gloom, referring to its shadow based abilities, and "macadamia," the real-life plant it is based on.

Murkadamia Nuts are defensive shadow plants who, when powered, grow jelly murk to damage attacking zombies.
Usage: damaged murk regrows over time
"Some say that encasing yourself in gelatin is no way to conduct an offense," says Murkadamia Nut with an infectious twinkle. "I say they just haven't planted ME yet!"
Upgrades

When fed Plant Food, Murkadamia Nut will regrow murk (if powered) and gain a little shield that allows it to absorb 2000 more damage.
Conceal-mint effect
When boosted by Conceal-mint, Murkadamia Nut's murk will regenerate an additional 550 DPS per second, murk health is increased by 11500 damage per shot, and its damage reflection is increased by 70%. It will be powered even if not adjacent to a Moonflower.

Strategies
In normal state, Murkadamia Nut seems to be useless and weak as, when compared with Wall-nut, it has less health and costs more sun, as well as being ineligible to Wall-Nut First Aid's healing effect. The only better aspect than Wall-nut is its faster recharge. But it maybe more worthwhile to use another plant instead because he has a faster recharge and is 25 sun cheaper
When powered by Moonflower or Conceal-mint, Murkadamia Nut's perk is a combination of Infi-nut and Endurian, as it can damage zombies as well as regenerating its health without the usage of Plant Food or Wall-nut First Aid and therefore requires less maintenance.
If its murk degrades, its attack speed slows down. Keep this in mind.
However, there are some differences among these plants. Unlike Infi-nut, Murkadamia Nut doesn't have a projector, so once it is eaten, it can't be restored. Unlike Endurian, which attacks actively, Murkadamia Nut can only damage zombies which are eating it, so its attack cannot cooperate well with immobilization. (The speed of) The damage zombies taken from Murkadamia Nut depends on their attack (speed), thus making it good to use when fighting zombies like Newspaper Zombie.
Zombies like Explorer Zombies or Gargantuars can destroy Murkadamia Nut fast, making its perk to damage zombies and to regenerate health useless.
