==Behind the scenes==
The Myconid's appearances in Final Fantasy Adventure and Final Fantasy Record Keeper are as a representative of the Mana series. Adventure was the first entry in the Mana series, which dropped the Final Fantasy name for future installments, while Record Keeper's appearances were as part of crossover events with other Mana games. The Myconid is one of the more recognizable enemies in the Mana franchise where it is commonly localized as the Mushboom. However, enemy names in Adventure never received an official English localization, while the Record Keeper crossover events were limited to Japan. As a result, the Myconid has never been officially localized as Mushboom in a Final Fantasy title, and this wiki uses the direct translation of its Japanese name when referring to it.
