"My favorite arithmetic operation?" wonders Spore-shroom. "I guess I'd have to say, um, addition. Hang on, no... multiplication."

Spore-shroom is the fifth plant and a mushroom obtained in Neon Mixtape Tour in Plants vs. Zombies 2. When it kills a zombie using its own attack, another Spore-shroom will be spawned in its lane.

It was first revealed in the Neon Mixtape Tour Side B developer diary released on September 15, 2015.

Plant Food

It lobs three giant projectiles at three different zombies, doing massive damage and spawning a Spore-shroom on the tiles if the projectiles defeated the zombie.

Trivia

• It is the second new mushroom in Plants vs. Zombies 2, that is also non related to Dark Ages, the first being Toadstool.
• It is the first non-premium mushroom since Magnet-shroom.
• It is the first, and currently only lobbed-shot mushroom in the international version.
• It is the only mushroom found in a world outside Dark Ages (which has Sun-shroom, Puff-shroom, Fume-shroom, and Magnet-shroom) or the store (which sells Toadstool and Hypno-shroom).
• It is the first plant to clone itself without Plant Food.
• It is the fifth lobbed-shot plant without the suffix "-pult" in its name. The first one is Winter Melon, the second one is Sap-fling, the third one is A.K.E.E., and the fourth one is Strawburst.
• The projectile it shoots resembles its cap, even including miniature eyebrows.
• It is the second long ranged mushroom in the series, with the first being Scaredy-shroom, which coincidentally resembles it (it may have even been the basis for this new mushroom, appearance-wise).
• Its name and ability are puns of how mushrooms reproduce by spores and how they tend to multiply very fast in a proper environment.
  • Despite this, it should be known that Puff-shroom, along with Scaredy-shroom, Fume-shroom, and Sea-shroom (of the first game) also shoot spores, making Spore-shroom the 5th plant in the series to use the projectile (although the four mushrooms that preceded him shoot non-reproductive spores).
• If in front of it is an obstacle and there are even zombies in its lane, its projectile will attack it instead.
• If the zombie that is about to be killed by Spore-shroom and it is completely between the two tiles, a Spore-shroom will spawn in the left one.
• Despite being obtained after Garlic, it is positioned before it on the seed selection screen and the almanac.
  • This trait is also shared with Peashooter and Sunflower as well as Cabbage-pult and Bloomerang.
• It makes squealing nosies when shooting its projectile, making it one of the nine plants in the game that makes vocal noises, with the others being Squash, Chard Guard, Strawburst, Cactus, Banana Launcher, Lava Guava, Dandelion, and Sweet Potato.
• Spore-shroom's almanac refers to its ability to create new Spore-shrooms out of defeated zombies.
• When it kills a Bug Zombie, instead of the bug dropping its zombie, the bug just turns into new Spore-shroom.
• It doesn't turn objects like Tombstones and Arcade machines into Spore-shrooms.
• If it defeats a zombie on the tile that it or another plant is on, it doesn't turn that zombie into a Spore-shroom.
  • This is because plants can't stack on each other (if you don't include Lily Pad, Pumpkin and Hot Potato).
