Mine-shroom

The Mine-shroom is a mushroom plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Final Showdown that serves as an alternative to Potato Mine. Similarly to Potato Mine, it takes a while to arm and then will blow up the next zombie to step on it.
It costs absolutely nothing at first, and recharges faster than a Potato Mine, but with the downsides that its cost increases by 5 every time you plant one in a level, and it only does half the damage of a Potato Mine, so it can't kill Bucketheads in a single use
It is introduced after beating Day 15 of Rainy Forest.

==Origin==
Its name is a portmanteau of "mine", a device concealed underground that explodes when stepped on, and "mushroom", the kind of plant this plant is based on.
==Appearance==
A tiny mushroom plant (slightly smaller than Puff-shrooms) with a light red cap. When first planted, the cap is all that's visible above ground, however it will eventually pop up out of the ground and its half-closed eyes become visible.
==Almanac Entry==
Mine-shroom
A weaker but cheaper Potato Mine. Unfortunately, its cost slowly increases.
Damage: half massive
Range: one space
Usage: single-use, on contact once armed
Special: cost increases by 5 with each use
Plant Food effect: resets cost to 0
Sleeps during the day
"Mine! All mine! Everything is mine!"
Cost: 0+
Recharge: fast
==Plant Food==
Resets the cost of its seed packet back to 0. Potentially useful once it reaches a price that's too expensive to be efficient, though at that point in the level, a half-strength Potato Mine is unlikely to be worth using anyway.
==Strategies==
Mine-shroom's faster recharge and lower starting cost than Potato Mine make it a semi-spammable early attacker in night-time levels, and it's especially useful in Hidden Base, where you have to plant in Flower Pots and therefore Puff-shrooms are less effective, while Mine-shroom will be an efficient option while you set up your defences.
Mine-shrooms are basically useless during the day, as they cost a minimum of 75 sun due to the Coffee Bean, which is 50 more than the more effective Potato Mine.
