Toadstool

A Toadstool is a smaller relative of the Puffstool. Similar to the Puffstool, which can change Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin, the Toadstool can change Pikmin into White Mushroom Pikmin. It has a white mushroom cap. Should it release its spores in the presence of fire, they will combust into a cloud of fire.

Olimar's notes

 * "These creatures are part of the sporovid family, known for their lifeform-altering spores. The contents of the toadstool's spores are fragile and also contain a special acid in them that causes them to ignite upon contact with fire. Strangely, the toadstool's underbody is the same color as the puffstool's underbody, but it has a white cap, potentially to scare off predators because of the toadstool's diminished size. The changing of the properties of the spores and the coloration of its cap is unknown, however."
