"Fungus Amongus" is the twenty-first episode of Darkwing Duck, and the fourth episode to air on ABC.

Synopsis[]

A series of supernatural pizza topping thefts leads Darkwing to the place that is home to St. Canard's mushroom production called Macawber Mushrooms Unlimited - Macawber Mansion. However, instead of keeping his thoughts on the case, he ends up falling for the beautiful and creepy sorceress named Morgana Macawber, the chair of the company. Can he crack this mysterious case, or has the hero been bitten too hard by the love bug?

Darkwing: I am the terror that... flaps... in the night?
Ghoul Duck: This is the director's meeting of Macawber's Mushrooms! I don't believe you were invited!

Morgana: Good evening. I'm Morgana Macawber, president of Macawber Mushrooms. Nice to meet you, Mister...
Darkwing: [stuttering] Darkwing Duck at your service.
Morgana: What an unusual name, but then you appear to be very unusual. I like that.

Launchpad: Gee, DW, sorry about your girlfriend being a fiendish blood-sucking creature from the Netherworld.
Darkwing: Hey, hey hey hey! Nobody's doing any blood-sucking! She's just... misguided.

"I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the onion that stings in your eyes! I am Darkwiiing Duck!"
—Darkwing

"Women. Now you see 'em, now you don't."
—Launchpad at the end of the episode
