Everyone's always telling her, "You're cute as a button!" But she's not just cute. She's smart and funny too.

Button Mushroom is a basic common plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the Kabloom class.

She is the basic plant of the Kabloom class. Her zombie equivalent is Backup Dancer.

Origins

She is based on the portobello (Agaricus bisporus), also known as the button mushroom; and a button, a small fastener commonly made of, but not limited to plastic, which secures two pieces of fabric together.

Her appearance is a pun on the word "button" in her name. Her description references the phrase, "You're cute as a button."

Card description

Everyone's always telling her, "You're cute as a button!" But she's not just cute. She's smart and funny too.

Strategies

With

Being a mushroom plant, Button Mushroom benefits both Buff-Shroom and Punish-Shroom's abilities, helping you dish out some extra damage. She can also be used to block a powerful zombie and stall it.

However, she is outclassed by many other mushrooms in the Kabloom class and becomes rather useless as you obtain them. Some suitable replacements include:

• Shroom for Two, who makes another mushroom in front, doing double the damage at the same cost and boosting Go-Nuts if used with Nightcap.
• Puff-Shroom, who has the same stats but is free and has a useful Team-Up trait.
• Astro-Shroom, who has the Bullseye trait and a useful ability that goes well with said trait.
• Poison Mushroom, who can be used to apply some early-game pressure with its Anti-Hero trait.

In general, there's not much use for Button Mushroom, so you should not specifically run the plant in your deck once you have superior alternatives. Instead, you'll rely other cards that make Button Mushrooms, like More Spore. The one use Button Mushroom has however is for Evolution, which can be used to put a much bigger threat on board, especially in the case of Gloom-Shroom, while losing next to no value.

Against

You should not have any trouble dealing with Button Mushroom. However, she can pressure you if she is used with Buff-Shroom or Punish-Shroom, not to mention that they are very cheap, so it is best to destroy them before there are too many on the field. If you are getting overwhelmed by them, play The Chickening or Weed Spray to take them out.
