烈焰菇最讨厌夏天，因为他练习法术的时候会困为太热而流太多的汗。更倒霉的是他家的空调老困为温度太高而坏掉，每当此时他就会无比羡慕他的同胞兄弟寒冰菇。 Pyro-shroom sweats too much while practicing his sword dances, therefore he hates summer the most. And when the air conditioner at his home malfunctions due to the high temperature, it really is out of the frying pan into the fire. It is at this moment that he envies the Cryo-shroom, his twin brother.

Pyro-shroom (烈焰菇; pinyin: lièyàn gū) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He launches fireballs at zombies, dealing 40 Damage per shot. Similarly to Sun-shroom, Strawburst and his ice counterpart, Cryo-shroom, he grows after a certain amount of time in three stages. At the third stage, he will shoot meteors out from the sky, dealing damage to zombies in a 3x3 area.

Strategies

Pyro-shroom is an overall good offensive plant. He is quite weak during his early stages, as he has a considerable weak firepower for a plant that costs 225 sun. Plant Food can be used on him to boost his growth and eliminate incoming zombies. Do note that a grown-up Pyro-shroom is vulnerable to zombie attacks since they take some time to grow to full size.

However, he is outclassed by Dragonfruit, who is cheaper and can attack in a 3x3 area right from the bat.
