*Despite its old name, it does not appear to be connected to [[Toadstool]] from ''[[Plants vs. Zombies 2]]'' at all. Its name may have been changed to avoid confusion with said plant.
Its name is a portmanteau of "mushroom" and "boom."

Strategies
With
If you get this trick at the beginning of the game, it is recommended to use it immediately, as most zombies that cost 1 brain are easily destroyed by this trick. If that zombie is destroyed, the Poison Mushroom made by this trick can land a hit on your opponent.
However, if your opponent does not send out a zombie on the first turn, beware, as they may be saving their brain for a trick like Bungee Plumber, which can easily destroy Poison Mushroom. It is also a bit of a waste since its ability can only do damage to a zombie fighter and not to your opponent directly.
In the mid-to-late-game, try not to choose lanes where Mush-Boom's ability cannot destroy the zombie on it, as Poison Mushroom loses its usefulness without its Anti-Hero boost. But even then, you should have other plants that can do better than Poison Mushroom, so it may not be a bad idea to use this trick on a lane with a zombie with up to 3 health and destroy it.
Against
In the early-game, it is recommended to save your brains (unless you have a Cat Lady, Bungee Plumber, Nibble, or any damaging superpower), because if you use your brains to play a zombie, Mush-Boom destroys that zombie, causing you to lose both that zombie and 3 health. Stalling your opponent and giving them no clear opportunity to safely play this trick works in your favor, as Mush-Boom's effectiveness diminishes when you can play zombies that Mush-Boom cannot destroy.
Of course, you can just take 3 damage on the first turn and retaliate next turn.
