She does not have any traits, and her ability gives a selected plant, excluding her, +2/+2 when she is played. Her closest zombie counterparts are Loudmouth and Hover-Goat 3000.
She may be based on the Sun-Shroom in Plants vs. Zombies, as both of them have identical appearances apart from the cap color.
Her name is a combination of "grow," referring to her ability, as gaining stats are the same as "growing bigger" in this game, and "mushroom," the real-life fungus she is based on.

Strategies[]

Grow-Shroom may seem mediocre, and outclassed by Fertilize, but there are reasons to use her over fertilizer. Any stat buff can render a plant more susceptible to cards like Rocket Science and other destroy options. With Fertilize, all the value could easily be removed with a single card. With Grow-Shroom, you still keep a small minion on the field, giving you improved “tempo”.
Grow-Shroom can block a glass cannon's attack from hurting a valuable Team-Up plant or you, and since her strength isn't that bad, she will be able to put an end to most of them. She is also able to serve as a fighter in Captain Combustible's mushroom swarm with Buff-Shroom and Punish-Shroom and reactivate her ability via Rescue Radish as Green Shadow. All of these cannot be achieved with Fertilize.
Other than that, do not play Grow-Shroom by herself, since she is not able to boost herself. Avoid playing her in Total Eclipse either, as Total Eclipse's ability will activate before Grow-Shroom's, destroying her before she can activate her ability.
Against[]
Grow-Shroom shouldn't be hard to destroy due to her low stats; common early-game removal cards like Nibble and Bungee Plumber are able to destroy her. However, her ability is the more dangerous side of her, being able to boost another plant to a dangerous level.
Therefore, removing the boosted plant should be of higher priority for you, because as mentioned before, Grow-Shroom herself doesn't pose much of a threat. Deadly zombies and tricks like Rocket Science and Locust Swarm can destroy the boosted plant, while Bouncing the boosted plant can reset its stats. Playing Landscaper can negate the boosted plant's strength, but its health boost will remain.
It is highly recommended not to Bounce this plant, as your opponent can play this again, which can boost another plant. The only exception is if you are going to be defeated otherwise, or you can win from doing that.
