Captain-shroom

The Captain-shroom is a mushroom plant in which attacks zombies by summoning Puff-shrooms in front of them. When there are zombies onscreen, the Captain-shroom will summon a temporary Puff-shroom approximately three spaces in front of the zombie furthest left, and it can do this on unplantable surfaces. It will summon Sea-shrooms instead to attack zombies in water.
However, the summoned Puff-shrooms die in a single bite, and only last for five seconds before disappearing naturally. The Captain-shroom will summon a Puff-shroom every five seconds, so provided they don't die, each Captain-shroom will summon one Puff-shroom at a time.
The biggest downside to this is that the Captain-shroom can't summon Puff-shrooms on top of other plants, forcing the Puff-shrooms to be summoned closer to zombies and making it ineffective later in levels. However, it is an excellent early attacker in night-time levels.

==Origin==
His name is a portmanteau of "captain", referring to the fact he leads Puff-shrooms, and "mushroom", the type of plant this plant is based on.
==Appearance==
A slightly larger Puff-shroom with an army helmet and no hole to shoot spores from. It also has a slightly angry expression on its face.

Cost: 25
Recharge: slow
==Plant Food==
Summons a permanent Puff-shroom in each row, as far left as possible. Not hugely effective, as early on it's usually better to spend plant food on sun producers, and later on the Puff-shrooms will die very fast.
==Strategies==
Since it can summon Puff-shrooms on any surface, it is a huge help in a night-time stage with unplantable surfaces, so you don't need to use early sun on Flower Pots, and can instead spend 25 sun to defend against all the early zombies.
However, due to the plant requiring space to actually summon Puff-shrooms, coupled with the Puff-shrooms only sustaining a bite of damage, it is extremely ineffective later in the level, and should be used only as an early attacker. Once obtained, it can also be considered as an early attacker in other night-time levels, or even potentially daytime levels, as for only 100 sun you get a plant that can attack zombies anywhere onscreen.
Despite supposedly summoning Puff-shrooms on any surface, it cannot summon them on a space that is completely unplantable, such as craters for example.
