'''Mushrooms''' (referred as '''Dash Mushrooms''' in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series) are [[items]] which restore players' health. They appear in most of the RPGs. They are also items in the ''Mario Kart'' series.

Mushrooms add an additional mark or heart to the [[Health Meter|life meter]], to a maximum of four. The meter then resets to two marks at the start of the following stage. Up to two are located in each stage, and are found only in specific [[Subspace]] locations within the stage. In [[Super Mario Advance]], an extra mushroom is added to each level to bring the maximum total to five hearts.

In recent ''Mario Kart'' games, Mushrooms can be used as well to knock aside other karts or even steal an item from opponents by ramming them, as seen in ''Double Dash!!''. In later games, this move cannot steal items, but works to steal balloons, [[Shine Sprite]]s or [[coin]]s from other players when playing in battle mode.

In the European version of ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', it is called '''Dash Mushroom''' and '''Triple Dash Mushroom'''. Also in ''Mario Kart 7'', there is a large mushroom in the cave of [[Rosalina's Ice World]].

Mushrooms appear in this game as '''Time Kinoko''' (タイムキノコ,<ref>''Mario & Wario'' instruction booklet, page 10.</ref> or ''Time Mushroom''). A Time Kinoko is a very rare item that only appears in certain courses, and they function similarly to the [[+ Clock|Clock]]s of other games by refilling the Time Gauge (タイムゲージ<ref>''Mario & Wario'' instruction booklet, pages 6 & 10.</ref>), a version of the [[Time Limit|timer]] represented by a bar rather than numbers. To grab one, [[Wanda]] must make her character walk over to it.

Mid Mushrooms differ in appearance from the regular Mushroom, having a green cap rather than a red one. The Max Mushroom, being the greatest one of them all, is able to recover all HP to one party member. They have a yellow cap, different from all other Mushrooms. The bad Mushroom, only found in [[Seaside Town]], does not recover HP and is used only in battle. When used, they poison an enemy of choice, but some enemies don't get poisoned, so it is not that useful. They have the same appearance as a regular Mushroom in the game. However, Mushrooms that are found in [[Treasure Chest#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Treasure Boxes]] recovers all HP and [[FP]] for Mario's entire party. These Mushrooms are used as soon as they are picked up. Additionally, these powerful Mushrooms have faces. Also, most Mushroom Treasure Chests restock with every selection of a certain area. A special type of Mushroom is sold by the [[Micro-Goomba|Goombette]] [[Triplets]] at the shop in [[Monstro Town]]. These Mushrooms, apart from restoring 30 HP, also turn the user into a Mushroom during battle.

In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', they're referred to as '''Dash Mushrooms''', and allow the player to add three spaces to the Dice Block total.

 

In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', they appear in the minigame [[Movin' Mushrooms]]. If it falls into a cart, the respective team gains one point.

A unique mushroom called the [[Invincishroom]] (a mix of [[1-Up Mushroom]]s and [[Star]]s) can be found only when the player has beaten the high score of a certain minigame. The player cannot use it, however, because Mario eats it as soon as he and Luigi win it, causing him to become very sick and slowly turn into a [[bean]]. Luigi cures Mario by giving him [[Crabbie Grass]], which is found in [[Guffawha Ruins]].

[[Bowser]] does not eat mushrooms unless a Goomba/Bob-omb from a [[Jailgoon]], a Trashure or Dark Trashure, or a Naplock gives him one, or he uses Refreshrooms, which recover half of his Health Meter (only when he is Giant Bowser).

In [[Paper Mario]], Mushrooms take the role as healing items, similar to other Super Mario RPG games. In this game, they heal 5 HP when used. Several variations of Mushrooms could be found, such as the [[Volt Shroom]] or the [[Life Shroom]]. Recipes can also be made for other types of Mushrooms by combining certain ingredients together by Tayce T.
