Glow-shroom (Chickenwastaken)

Glow-shroom is a gem premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He was first introduced in the 8.6.4 update. If he is hovered over a zombie using the cursor, the Glow-shroom will make the said zombie to glow. This glow will then attract the other plants' attention, and they will start attacking both it's original target and the glowing zombie. This effect only lasts for 5 seconds. 
Glow-shroom was previously available to be bought for $6.99, but it was later changed to 100 gems. 
==Origins==
Glow-shroom is based on mycena chlorophos, a species of agaric fungus in the family Mycenaceae.
Glow-shroom's name refers to the fact that mycena chlorophos are bioluminescent fungus, and that they are mushrooms.

===Plant Food effect===
Glow-shroom, when boosted using the Zen Garden/gems, will spread it's effect to other zombies when the zombie that Glow-shroom was planted onto encounters other zombies. This will only last for 5 seconds. Note that when the plant food effect is finished, Glow-shroom's non-PF effect will only last for 3 seconds instead of 5. 
===Ail-mint's effect===
When Ail-mint is present on the lawn, Glow-shroom's effect will now last for 8 seconds, and his recharge will be cut down to 60 seconds.
==Strategies ==
Glow-shroom is extremely useful when used against Gargantuars, since he will get a lot of damage within 5 seconds depending on how many offensive plants you have present on the lawn. He is also useful against strong zombies.
Glow-shroom is really useful in the early game, especially if you haven't finished setting up your defense yet, since he is instantly charged at the start of the game. 
Despite being really useful, Glow-shroom obviously has some downsides. One of them is that, if you use him against a zombie that is behind your offensive plants (ex. Prospector Zombie after launching), he will be useless, since none of them can target the zombie. Another one is his really long recharge, having the longest recharge among all the plants with 90 seconds (1 min, 30 seconds), which is longer than all the mints' recharge. He also cannot be charged using plant food. Using Imitater with him is greatly advised to cut down his really long recharge.
Glow-shroom is best used when in tandem with really strong plants like Citron and Coconut Cannon. But, just be careful though. If he is used while Citron and Coconut Cannon are still recharging, there's a chance that they'll miss it.
