"It's not easy re-inventing yourself" says Ice-shroom after returning from an intensive stint of training in the coldest parts of the Antarctic. "It's not often you get a second chance, but I'm back now, and this time I won't be letting my fans or any of my friends down". Cheering erupts as Ice-shroom steps onto the lawn.

Ice-shroom is a returning mushroom plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 11.0.1 update alongside Bud'uh Boom. Ice-shroom was introduced as part of the "Ice-shroom" Arena season.

Due to Ice Bloom reusing Ice-shroom's original ability of freezing every zombie on the lawn, Ice-shroom has received a very heavy rework, now being a chilling melee plant that creates an ice aura in a 3x3 area around himself that boosts surrounding Winter-mint plants and chills zombies that walk in it.

Origins

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

However, his attack being changed to a short ranged attack might be a reference to his Garden Warfare appearances.

Upgrades

Plant Food effect

When given Plant Food, Ice-shroom will launch four icicles into the air, which will target four random zombies on the lawn. The number of icicles fired will be increased by leveling up Ice-shroom.

Winter-mint effect

When boosted by Winter-mint, Ice-shroom will deal an additional 100/200/300/400/500/600/700/800/900/1000 damage with its normal attack, it will deal an additional 350/375/400/425/475/550/625/700/775/900 damage with its Plant Food projectiles attack, the number of projectiles it lobs during PF is increased by 2, and its damage boost is increased by 0.25.

Trivia

• Ice-shroom is the first plant so far returning from the original Plants vs. Zombies to behave completely different than he did in the first game, both in abilities and functions. In the first game, he is an instant-use plant that freezes all zombies on the lawn while in the second game, he is a close-range plant that chills all zombies in 3x3 area as well boosts Winter-mint plants surrounding him.
• Ice-shroom's almanac entry is a nod to his radically revamped abilities between games.
• Following Ice-shroom's return and if one counts the Doom Balloon spawned by Boom Balloon Flower's Plant Food ability as an appearance by Doom-shroom, this would mean every plant from the Night area has officially reappeared in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
• Despite mentioning in Ice-shroom's almanac entry that his chilling aura buffs Winter-mint plants in his radius, Ice-shroom currently cannot boost his own or other Ice-shroom's damage in his area. This may be an oversight or an intended feature to address Ice-shroom's commonly pointed out insanely high damage stat.
