Growing-shroom

The Growing-shroom is an attacking mushroom plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Final Showdown, which at first only shoots spores with power equal to a Peashooter, despite costing 25 more than a Peashooter or 100 more than a Scaredy-shroom.
However, after a minute, it will grow in size and shoot larger spores which deal twice as much damage (40DPS). After another minute, it will grow to its maximum size and shoot spores which deal 60DPS, making it essentially three times as strong as a Peashooter.
It is unlocked after beating Night 6 in The Great Graveyard.

==Origin==
Its name is a portmanteau of "growing", referring to its ability to grow in size over time, and "mushroom", the type of plant this plant is based on.
==Appearance==
A mushroom somewhat similar in shape to a Scaredy-shroom, although it fires spores from the cap, not the stalk, and the cap is a bluish purple colour with reddish spots. At its base size, it's only slightly bigger than a Puff-shroom, but at max size it's slightly larger than a Scaredy-shroom.

==Plant Food==
Shoots ten spores a second for three seconds. The size of the spores depends on its stage of growth.
==Strategies==
Growing-shroom is a cost-effective plant for medium-length levels. It allows you to set up defences that will gradually improve and if you get them in place early enough, they will easily be fully-grown long before the second flag (sometimes even before the first flag).
However, their high cost for a mushroom means that spamming Scaredy-shrooms or Fume-shrooms can be much easier, and additionally they lack AoE for long-term survival.
In daytime levels, for a cost of 200 sun, they could potentially be considered as they are still cost-effective once fully grown, but often peashooting plants can be more cost-effective due to synergising with Torchwoods.
