'''Mushroom Pikmin''' ({{j|キノコピクミン| | '''Mushroom Pikmin''' ({{j|キノコピクミン|Kinoko Pikumin}}, also colloquially known as '''Puffmin''') is the name given to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] that are under the control of a [[Puffstool]]. After being showered with spores, infected Pikmin will make a small aggressive sound and will change in appearance and behavior. This Pikmin status only appears in the first ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' game – in ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', Pikmin are instead [[Hazard#Control|controlled]] when showered with Puffstool spores. | ||
The spores of the Puffstool cause affected Pikmin to morph into a strange form. Their eyes become pupil-less and dead-looking, their skin turns a dark shade of purple and an orange-brown mushroom cap grows on top of their stem. Their type's special physical characteristics, such as the noses, ears and gills are also gone; instead, they receive a small, triangular, slit-like frown. | The spores of the Puffstool cause affected Pikmin to morph into a strange form.
