== Almanac Entry ==
== Upgrades and Leveling ==
=== Plant Food Effect ===
When fed Plant Food, Sand-Shroom will spit out a powerful stream of sand in its lane, the lane above it, and the lane below it. The stream pushes back and damages zombies. The stream lasts for about 5 seconds.
=== Ail-Mint ===
While Ail-Mint is on the lawn, Sand-Shroom's sand will deal triple damage.
=== Leveling Up ===
As Sand-Shroom levels up, its damage and range slowly increase, with its range maxing out at 5 tiles. In addition, leveling it up to level 5, 10, 15, or 20 will increase its fire rate.
== Strategies and Unique Interactions ==
=== Strategies ===
Sand-Shroom isn't a big enough damage dealer to carry a lane itself, but planting it behind defensive plants can help wear down large hordes of zombies. It's especially useful with zombies like Chicken Wrangler that have a lot of low-health zombies dropped upon their death.
=== Unique Interaction with Torchwood ===
If Sand-Shroom is placed behind Torchwood, its abilities change drastically. The Torchwood turns Sand-Shroom's sand into shards of glass that do more damage, but lose the damage-over-time abilities. If Plant Food is used on Sand-Shroom while it's in this form, the effect changes; instead of a three-lane sand stream, Sand-Shroom fires a large glass spike in its lane that splinters upon hitting a zombie, sending out damaging shards.
