Spore

A spore

Spore is the basic projectile fired by Puff-shrooms, Scaredy-shrooms, and Sea-shrooms. Spores are the mushroom equivalent of peas, but without a flaming or frozen variety. There are two kinds of spores which consist Puff-shroom spores, and Scaredy-shroom spores. Scaredy-shroom spores are slightly larger and more ranged than Puff-shroom spores, but they cannot be shot at close range, as the Scaredy-shroom hides when a zombie approaches near Scaredy-shroom. Spores are also produced by Ganoderma, and they do 10 damage to zombies.

Spore-shrooms lob spores, which have a different appearance. Each deals 50 damage instead. They dissolve the body of a defeated zombie into a new Spore-shroom.

Other than mushrooms, Rafflesia from the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 also creates spores. They are green and much larger, and they travel across the lawn and do a lot of damage to groups of zombies.

Trivia

• In the online version of Plants vs. Zombies, when a zombie dies and a Puff-shroom spore doesn't hit it, it can hit a zombie farther than its usual range rather than disappearing. This also happens on the DS version and the FREE version. It seems like it can only see 3 spaces though.
• The spores resemble fumes.
  • Although fumes look like multiple spores, they still do the same damage of one spore.
    • However, fumes now deal damage equivalent to two spores in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
  • The data that defines how much damage spores and fumes deal is the same.
• Although Sea-shroom is green in color, its spore is purple just like those shots by Puff-shrooms and Scaredy-shrooms.
  • In Plants vs. Zombies 2, its spore is colored blue. Additionally, its spore also resembles a bubble.
