Bright-shroom

The Bright-shroom is a mushroom plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Final Showdown that produces light, similarly to Planterns. Essentially, in the same way that Scaredy-shroom is a cheaper Peashooter with a downside, Bright-shroom is a cheaper, but less effective Plantern. It's completely free, however lights up only a 3x3 area, instead of the 3x7 area that Planterns light up in PvZ: The Final Showdown.
It is introduced after beating Night 2 of Hidden Base.

==Origin==
His name is a portmanteau of "bright", referring to the fact that it lights up part of the screen, and "mushroom", the type of plant this plant is based on.
==Appearance==
A small mushroom plant with a bright yellow cap that's shaped like a light bulb, giving off a small glow.
==Almanac Entry==
Bright-shroom
Lights up 3x3 area around it. Less effective than Planterns, but it costs nothing!
Special: lights up a small area
Plant Food effect: lights up the screen for five seconds
Sleeps during the day
Bright-shroom was always the brightest student in school, in more ways than one. He eventually became a teacher, but unfortunately, being nocturnal meant his teacher's assistant had to be Coffee Bean.
Cost: 0
Recharge: fast
==Plant Food==
The Bright-shroom briefly lights up the entire screen for five seconds. Not particularly useful, but it can be used to locate dangerous zombies if your light sources have been destroyed.
==Strategies==
It is introduced in Hidden Base, which shortly into the level will black out completely, making you entirely reliant on light-producing plants to see. Bright-shrooms are a good choice early on in the level, if it blacks out quite early, as it's cheaper than Planterns and can allow you to see vital things such as the state of defensive plants. It also has a faster recharge than Planterns, allowing you to set them up faster.
You can potentially consider them as an alternative to Planterns for the long-term as well, however it will require six Bright-shrooms to light up the whole screen, as opposed to four Planterns.
Spy Zombies frequently prioritise Bright-shrooms (as well as other light sources such as Planterns), dropping onto these plants to kill them quickly. Since Bright-shrooms are easily replaced, they can reduce the issue posed by Spy Zombies, though you can also block them with Umbrella Leaves.
It is useless during the day, as aside from requiring 75 sun to activate, there is no darkness or fog hazard in any daytime levels.
