Perhaps it’s a stupid question, but how do we know that Rotten Mushrooms are distinct items from Poison Mushrooms, and not just a new name for the same item? --Super Mario Fan 67 (T•C•S) 11:45, July 3, 2019 (EDT)

- Often, the official names for items change over time. For example, Super Stars were originally called Starmen in older games, despite being the same item. On the wiki, we name our articles based on the name in the latest appearance, while keeping the information about previous appearances and the official names of those appearances in the individual sections for the game in question.

- There is some different behavior in regards to the direction it moves compared to The Lost Levels, but this may not be much more different than Fish Bones having new homing behavior in subsequent appearances since there actually is evidence connecting Rotten Mushroom to Poison Mushroom: its internal name is PoisonKinoko.
