The '''Toxstool''' ({{j|ドクナメコ|Doku Nameko|Poison Nameko}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p4}}. While it is very reminiscent both physically and behaviorally to the [[Puffstool]], this creature differs in that it possesses turquoise coloration, and instead of [[confusion|confusing]] Pikmin, it expels a [[poison]] that can kill Pikmin that are not [[White Pikmin|White]] or [[Glow Pikmin]].

{{transcript|Much like the Puffstool, the Toxstool is neither animal nor fungus but a mix of the two, or an Ambulofungus. It doesn't serve a producer or consumer role in the ecosystem, but functions instead as a decomposer.

It primarily parasitizes other living organisms by blanketing them with its spores. However, the Toxstool can infect a deceased specimen as well. Its hyphae is able to move the muscles and control the body as if bringing it back from the dead.

The way the fungal filaments grow differs based on the host organism. In some cases, they may cause the hosts to wander around in search of food to facilitate a more nutrient- rich fungal-culture medium. They can also just use the host as a means to scatter more spores.|block=y}}
