Members
Aggregating Poofspore
- Main article: Aggregating Poofspore
Aggregating Poofspores are harmless on their own but become very dangerous in groups. They can form a massive colony controlled by a Queen Poofspore.
Bioluminescent Puffstool
- Main article: Bioluminescent Puffstool
The Bioluminescent Puffstool is a glowing sporovid that is completely harmless and beneficial to keep alive.
Funghoul
- Main article: Funghoul
The Funghoul is an elusive sporovid that, upon being seen, climbs to a high vantage point and stalks its prey for a while, eventually jumping down behind it. It lands with a soft "thud" and soon after charges at its prey, grabbing it and lighting it ablaze. It can be defeated in a single hit, but it always comes back. If killed, it collapses into spores and turns the ground around it into mycelium, which regrows into a new Funghoul soon after.
Glowling
- Main article: Glowling
Glowlings are small, slender sporovids that mimic the appearance of Common Glowcaps. It is completely harmless and will run away when approached.
Peacap Puffstalk
- Main article: Puffstalk
The Peacap Puffstalk is much like the Puffstalk but walks around instead of emerging from holes.
Plishroom
- Main article: Plishroom
Plishrooms are sporovids that tackle Pikmin and leaders but are otherwise completely harmless. They are related to the Puffstool.
Powerstool
- Main article: Powerstool
The Powerstool can use fire and electricity to defend itself from attackers. Like the Puffstool, it can turn Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin, making it a formidable foe.
Puffair
- Main article: Puffair
Puffairs are airborne sporovids that can be used as platforms to reach higher areas or otherwise unreachable locations.
Puffire
- Main article: Puffire
The Puffire is a relative of the Puffstool that uses fire to repel its attackers and cannot infect Pikmin.
Puffrex
- Main article: Puffrex
The Puffrex is a larger, more aggressive relative of the Puffstool. It has the ability to launch spore bombs that bounce around and eventually burst into a cloud of spores that can turn Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin.
Puffstalk
- Main article: Puffstalk
The Puffstalk is a harmless creature that comes out of holes.
Puffstool
- Main article: Puffstool
The Puffstool is a normally harmless boss that, when threatened, is capable of converting Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin by releasing spores.
Moldstool

The Moldstool is a close relative of the Puffstool that differentiates itself by having a warty green cap instead of a smooth red cap. They release mold that converts Pikmin into Moldmin upon contact. Although passive they will become more hostile when their health reaches certain increments.
