Toadstool just can't stand being idle. "I keep everything that I want to do on lists, and keep the lists where I can see them so that I'm always motivated!" she said. Whenever there's work to be done, she's always the first to hop to it.

Toadstool is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It was released on June 23, 2015.

Like Chomper, Toadstool can eat most types of zombies but will take 20 seconds to fully digest each enemy, during which Toadstool is vulnerable to attacks. When confronted with obstacles such as tombstone and surfboard, or an inedible, it will deal five normal damage shots to it, half the damage of Chomper, but twice the speed. The main differences are that Toadstool costs 50 more sun, but will produce 50 sun after fully digesting, and can extend it tongues forward 2 tiles to catch or damage enemies.

Toadstools cannot consume the following zombies:

• Gargantuar variants (including Gargantuar Prime)
• Zombie Bull
• Barrel Roller Zombie (with his barrel)
• Robo-Cone Zombie
• Mecha-Football Zombie
• Pianist Zombie
• Disco-tron 3000
• Zombie King
• Fisherman Zombie

Etymology

Toadstool is based on the term toadstool, another word used to refer to mushrooms. The name is also a pun of the word Toad, as Toadstool displays many toad-like attributes.

Toadstool just can't stand being idle. "I keep everything that I want to do on lists, and keep the lists where I can see them so that I'm always motivated!" she said. Whenever there's work to be done, she's always the first to hop to it.

Plant Food

When fed with Plant Food, Toadstool grabs up to four random zombies in a 5x3 area, chews for a short amount of time and then produces 50 sun for each zombie it ate. If there are only inedible zombies in the area, Toadstool will instead attempt to attack to attack them; if there are no targets available, Toadstool will do nothing.

Strategies

Toadstools are advantageous attacking plants that produce sun after eating a consumable zombie. They are best used against high health zombies that can be eaten (such as Knight Zombies, Blockhead Zombies, Buckethead Zombie variants, etc.) to make the threat level lower (perhaps it would also be great to feed these zombies a Sun Bean in order to gain more than the 50 sun Toadstool produces after consuming the zombie). Be sure to protect them with such defensive plants such as Endurians so that you can combine a powerful attack between consumable and non-consumable zombies for more damage. As sun-producing plants, they are useful in Sun Bombs levels, but in other levels, they are not necessarily preferable due to the fact that it produces sun slower than other plants.

It is best to plant Toadstools on Gold Tiles in Lost City, so that you will get more sun from the Toadstool that consumed a zombie that it ate and from the Gold Tile which the Toadstool is standing on. It is best to combine this with Sweet Potato and then use Plant Food on the Toadstool. If you are going to use this plant against non-consumable zombies, be sure to paralyze them with butter or freeze them with Iceberg Lettuce or stun them with Chili Bean and/or Stunion before using the Toadstool against the non-consumable zombies.

A good idea is to use Toadstool in Wild West because it can defeat Chicken Wrangler Zombie with the Zombie Chickens together without being released.

It is a bad idea to use Toadstool in Frostbite Caves because Troglobites are their main weaknesses, because Troglobites will crush your Toadstools with their frozen blocks when damaging these barricades. Be sure to stun or paralyze them with butter before you use the Toadstools. However, Toadstools can eat whole the Weasel Hoarder with her Ice Weasels without being released.

Trivia

• Toadstool displays a functional vocal cord in its idle animation; this is illogical however as only male toads have vocal cord, while Toadstool is stated to be female in the Almanac.
• In the 3.6 update, it could be used in Last Stand levels.
• Toadstool is referred to as female in the Almanac, but male in the developer diary for Lost City Part 2.
• Toadstool will continue to make chewing noises and produce sun even after the level ends or when the player is on the rewards screen.
• There is a glitch when it sticks out its tongue and consumes a zombie, and the player exits the level and returns to it. The Toadstool will simply shake up and down, its mouth open, and it will stay that way until the level ends, or if it is consumed or dug up, whatever happens first.
• Toadstool is one of the 4 mushrooms that are not obtained in the Dark Ages. The others are Hypno-shroom, Spore-shroom and Perfume-shroom.
• Toadstool is the only mushroom to not have the suffix "-shroom" in its name.
