“	Doom-shroom explodes when it is destroyed. The larger it grows, the bigger the explosion.	”
—Penny

Doom-shroom is a returning mushroom plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 11.7.1 update. Unlike its first appearance, Doom-shroom can only explode if being destroyed.

It grows in three stages, whose explosive ability becomes stronger over time. It takes the plant 8 seconds to grow from small to medium, and 12 seconds to grow from medium to big.

The initial stage deals 1100 damage to zombies in a 3x3 area, the medium stage deals 1400 damage to zombies, also in a 3x3 area, spawning an initial stage Doom-shroom around the area, and the last stage deals 2200 damage to zombies in a 5x5 area, spawning an initial stage Doom-shroom.

Regardless of which stage, the explosion will leave a crater that cannot be planted on, lasting for 13.5 seconds.

Origins

Doom-shroom is based on the plant from Plants vs. Zombies with the same name and appearance.
