Homing-shroom

The Homing-shroom is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Final Showdown that's similar to Cattail or Homing Thistle, but in mushroom form. It has a much lower cost, but it only deals as 20 damage per shot directly, with 10 damage per shot splash damage against groups. Large numbers of Homing-shrooms can be deadly against zombies such as Gargantuars due to how quickly they could deal damage.
It is unlocked after beating Night 4 of Dark Volcano.

==Origin==
Her name is a portmanteau of "homing", referring to homing missiles that can track a target; and "mushroom", the type of plant this plant is based on.
==Appearance==
A mushroom with a dark red cap, and with a small hole in the top of the cap from which it shoots the red homing spores.

She idolized Cattail, and vowed to be like that barking feline aquatic plant. Five years later, she's only managed to shoot at half the speed and still can't hurt flying zombies. Not to mention she hates touching water.
Cost: 100
Recharge: very fast
==Plant Food==
Homing-shroom will fire out 50 homing spores at the zombie farthest left, which will redirect to different targets if that zombie dies, unlike regular homing spores which can end up wasted. Effective as a last-ditch attempt to kill a strong zombie too close for comfort, but other Plant Food can often be better.
==Strategies==
Homing-shroom should be used similarly to Cattail or Homing Thistle, but at night. In large numbers, they are powerful, but don't rely solely on them or you'll usually end up dead. It's best to combine them with more reliable attackers such as Laser Beans or Pea Pods.
In Dark Volcano, they can be useful for targeting zombies in the lava row, but it will still only prioritize those zombies when they're quite far left. If you have powerful attackers in the regular rows, zombies in those rows won't make it very far and Homing-shrooms will almost exclusively target the lava row, making them very effective against the zombies in that row.
