Sporocyst is a status inflicting attack in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It causes the target to turn into a Mushroom, rendering the afflicted to be immobile but gain self healing abilities. However, it can only hit one party member at a time. The effects of Sporocyst can be negated with certain accessories, such as the Safety Badge. The animation for Sporocyst resembles a daffodil being released at a party member. Due to the nature of the attack, it can only be used by Amanitas.
