'''Golden Mushrooms''', also known as '''Gold Mushrooms''', are a type of [[Mushroom]], either considered rare or uncommon across appearances. They resemble a crownless, dark-stalked version of the [[Golden Dash Mushroom]] from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, or, in games such as ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', a lighter-toned golden mushroom with dark spots.

 

In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', Gold Mushrooms appear in the minigames [[Grab Bag]] and [[Rakin' 'em In]], where they are worth three [[Mushroom]]s. Other Golden Mushrooms appear as a usable item, but these are actually [[Super Mushroom]]s with a nonstandard yellow design.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]], it fully restores both [[Heart Point]]s and [[Bros. Point]]s for a single brother. There are only five Golden Mushrooms in-game, though it can also be stolen using [[Swing Bros.]] from [[Fawful]] and [[Popple]] (in the original game). In the remake, bosses like [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], and [[Larry Koopa|Larry]] always drop a Golden Mushroom when defeated. Ten Golden Mushrooms can be obtained from the [[Information Booth]] after 800 attacks are dodged. They also have a chance to be dropped by [[Clumph]]s and [[Boo]]s.

Gold Mushrooms appear as rare collectibles in some courses in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS ports]], appearing and acting as they do in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''. Collecting these mushrooms is usually a secondary objective in the courses they appear in. Some Gold Mushrooms can only be found through invisible [[Pluck Patch]]es, which can be seen once Captain Toad approaches them or reveals them with his headlamp.
