The '''Toxstool''' is a species of parasitic [[sporovid family|Sporovid]] with a turquoise blue tint. It shares the same body shape, behavior, and battle tactics as the [[Puffstool]] but instead of scattering [[spore]]s that confuse or covert [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], the Toxstool contains [[poison]]ous spores which are toxic to most Pikmin types. The Toxstool can also create patches of [[mold|sticky mold]] on the ground controlled by poisonous mushrooms that only [[White Pikmin]] or [[Oatchi]] can destroy. The Toxstool is parasitic in nature as we can see its spores infecting the [[Dwarf Moldy Bulborb]] and [[Moldy Slooch]], and it can spray spores over their unconscious bodies to revive them. While White Pikmin aren't required to be used to defeat it, the fact the Toxstool isn't able to damage them in any other way makes them the best type to fight against the creature with.

The '''Toxstool''' is a species of [[sporovid family|Sporovid]] appearing in [[Pikmin Evolution]]. They share the same appearance as they did in the previous games, but due to environmental factors they now have striped caps instead of spotted caps. They appear mainly underground or in areas with a lot of moist rot, going about and spreading its [[mold]]y [[spore]]s around the place, making it more sticky. These moldy spores radiate from the moldy clumps it creates, which need to be destroyed by [[Roach Pikmin]] to get rid of the mold. Toxstools also are surrounded by a number of mold infected enemies such as [[Dwarf Moldy Bulborb]]s, [[Moldy Slooch]]es, and other enemies, who guard their own patches of sticky mold and defeating them are required to remove the mold. However that won't last long as the Toxstool is able to revive these enemies by showering them with its spores. The Toxstool is essentially mold central and killing it will cause the enemies it has infected to die and disintegrate alongside it. The Toxstool is best attacked with Roach Pikmin as they are immune to the spores this creature makes, however in retaliation the Toxstool can scatter red spores which can scatter anyone under it in [[panic]] and leads them into the mouths of enemies who can deal with Roach Pikmin. The Toxstool is quite a tanky creature with fifty percent more health than the [[Puffstool]], and the ability to heal itself the more moldy clumps are around it by sucking the substance around itself. When at low health the Toxstool can also scatter gray spores which causes their younger variant, the [[Toxcap]]s to grow and later attack alongside their older relative. Overall the Toxstool is pretty dangerous to an unprepared group of Pikmin, however Toxstools have their own weaknesses as well. Toxstools notoriously hate fluids like [[water]], which shrivels up and stuns the Toxstool temporarily, leaving it free to be attacked. It also hates [[acid]] as that will cause its mold to melt away and leave it with its ability to regenerate its health from mold severed, leaving it greatly crippled. Overall the Toxstool can be seen as a more advanced and dangerous version Puffstool, since both are easy to beat with Roach Pikmin, but the Toxstool has tools to counter its own counters.

The Toxstool is a sporovid that can expel poison gas and deliberately uses it to resurrect dead Dwarf Moldy Bulborbs and Moldy Slooches. It is mostly passive and wanders around aimlessly unless attacked, in which case it will retaliate. If the mold covering its chamber is removed, or if there are dead Dwarf Moldy Bulborbs or Moldy Slooches in its vicinity, the Toxstool will rush over to regrow or resurrect them with its spores.

Notes

Ivy's journal

Toxstools are the most prolific sporovid species, to the point where theories have been formed around whether the Toxstool came first in the sporovid lineage. Toxstools, like most fungi, rely on a host to mature, but these creatures instead take control of their hosts from a young age to better propagate their race. Toxstools learn to be mobile due to the development gained from controlling a larger host, to the point where other sporovids may have inherited this trait later down the line. Some Toxstools have a chance to mutate, becoming a larger, more advanced form of fungus... I really hope I don't see those in a dark alley.

Leni's recipe book

My favorite method of cooking this mushroom is to shell out the internal organs of the creature and melt them into a fine cream to then combine with bone broth to make a delicious soup with a tangy flavor profile.

Marvin's strategy guide

Ivy says Toxstools hate water due to their porous structure being taken up by their spore-creating receptors, meaning a simple douse is all that is needed to cause some internal damage.

The Toxstool is a species of sporovid appearing in Pikmin: Scrambled Dimensions. It only appears in two caves: the Toxic Tubes, where it is by itself, and the Final Bout, where it is accompanied by a Puffstool. The Toxstool will spray a toxic gas when provoked, poisoning any Pikmin unfortunate enough to be around it when it retaliates. It is classified as a mini-boss, and the mini-boss theme plays while fighting it.
