A '''Life Mushroom''', referred to as a '''Life Shroom''' prior to the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'']], is an item found in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. Whenever [[Mario]] (or his partner in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|The Thousand-Year Door]]'') is defeated in battle, the Life Mushroom will revive the character and return ten [[Heart Point|HP]] to them. If both Mario and his partner lose all of their HP at the same time, both will be revived to ten HP, but only one Life Mushroom will be used.


A '''Life Shroom''' is an item found in the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' series. Whenever [[Mario]] (or his partner in ''Thousand-Year Door'') falls in battle, the Life Shroom will revive the character and return 10 HP to him or her. In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', they first appeared in the [[Boo's Mansion]] at [[Igor]]'s shop. Later on they appeared in both [[? Blocks]] and in the shop in [[Star Haven]]. The second item Mario can from [[Rip Cheato]] will be a Life Shroom. They're also left by [[Li'l Oink]]s that are orange and have white spots. In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', the item can be bought for 40 [[coins]] in [[Twilight Town]] and for 50 coins at [[Westside Goods]]. One is in [[Hooktail Castle]], [[Twilight Trail]], and given away as a shopping prize when you reach 150 points. Life Shrooms are also found in [[? Blocks]] later in the game.
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Life Shrooms can be found throughout the world, purchased, and cooked by [[Tayce T.]] In addition to their primary usage, they serve as an ingredient in several recipes and can be given to [[Koopa Koot]] in exchange for 1 coin and the [[Gold Credit]]. They can be obtained in the following locations:


The simplest items in the game can make Life Shrooms, so Mario should stock up on the useless flora because they'll pay off later.
*[[Peach's Castle]] library (unobtainable until Chapter 8)
*[[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]] ([[Hidden Block|hidden block]])
*[[Igor]]'s [[Boo's Shop|shop]] in [[Boo's Mansion]]
*[[Star Haven]] (two [[? Block]]s)
*Star Haven's [[Star Haven Shop|Shop]]
*[[Rip Cheato]] (second purchase)
*Dropped by Mushroom-patterned [[Li'l Oink]]s
*Cooked by [[Tayce T.]] (see below)


They reappear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', but only recover 5 HP when Mario, Peach, Bowser or Luigi falls.
In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', the item can be bought for forty [[coin]]s at the [[Twilight Shop]] in [[Twilight Town]] and for fifty coins at [[Westside Goods]] in [[Rogueport]]. One can be found in [[Hooktail Castle]], [[Twilight Trail]] and the [[Palace of Shadow]]. At shops within the game, they are given away as a shopping prize when the player reaches one-hundred and fifty points. Life Mushrooms are also found in [[? Block]]s later in the game. Life Mushrooms can also be carried by an enemy in battle. When the enemy is defeated, the Life Mushroom revives the enemy just as it would Mario or his partner; however, it then has a high chance of being dropped after the battle is over. [[Ms. Mowz]] can also use [[Kiss Thief]] to steal the item in battle. In this game, it is not possible to save this item just for Mario's use; partners automatically use it if their life is depleted, no matter what. The Puni Elder also demands one of these as an emergency ration in the Trouble Center. In the Nintendo Switch remake, Life Mushrooms can also be bought from a Toad in [[Pirate's Grotto]] for 40 coins after defeating Cortez.
But there is a side-effect. Sometimes Mario, Peach, Bowser or Luigi might die from it.

A Life Mushroom, referred to as a Life Shroom prior to the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, is an item found in the Paper Mario series. Whenever Mario (or his partner in The Thousand-Year Door) is defeated in battle, the Life Mushroom will revive the character and return ten HP to them. If both Mario and his partner lose all of their HP at the same time, both will be revived to ten HP, but only one Life Mushroom will be used.

In Paper Mario, Life Shrooms can be found throughout the world, purchased, and cooked by Tayce T. In addition to their primary usage, they serve as an ingredient in several recipes and can be given to Koopa Koot in exchange for 1 coin and the Gold Credit. They can be obtained in the following locations:

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the item can be bought for forty coins at the Twilight Shop in Twilight Town and for fifty coins at Westside Goods in Rogueport. One can be found in Hooktail Castle, Twilight Trail and the Palace of Shadow. At shops within the game, they are given away as a shopping prize when the player reaches one-hundred and fifty points. Life Mushrooms are also found in ? Blocks later in the game. Life Mushrooms can also be carried by an enemy in battle. When the enemy is defeated, the Life Mushroom revives the enemy just as it would Mario or his partner; however, it then has a high chance of being dropped after the battle is over.

In the Nintendo Switch remake, Life Mushrooms can also be bought from a Toad in Pirate's Grotto for 40 coins after defeating Cortez.

They reappear in Super Paper Mario, but only recover five HP when Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser or Luigi falls. They can be used at any time to restore five HP and/or cure Poison. They may drop from Fuzzies.
