Additionally, in {{p2}} Olimar states that Pikmin are not tricked by the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]] appearance and he concludes that they might share a common ancestor.{{cite quote|Like Pikmin, the creeping chrysanthemum is a member of a group of creatures with ambulatory root structures. This creature is known as a "mimic," but because it is actually a form of plant, this label is not entirely accurate. For unknown reasons, the creeping chrysanthemum's mimicry does not fool Pikmin, perhaps because they share a similar heritage.|[[Olimar]]|[[Olimar's notes]]}} For some unknown reason it was changed in {{p4}}, where Olimar now states that Pikmin are fooled "despite being members of the same class of organisms."{{cite quote|It uses its mimicry to lie in wait and ambush prey, unrecognized even by Pikmin despite being members of the same class of organisms.|[[Olimar]]|[[Olimar's notes]]}} Their relative, the [[Startle Spore]], is said to be part of the Ambuloradicis group like the [[Bulbmin]]{{cite quote|As a result, we can theorize that like fellow Ambuloradicis the Bulbmin, this species is not an evolutionary variation, but that the body is a parasite that has nestled inside a group of mushrooms. Because the hosts are mushrooms, the Startle Spore cannot photosynthesize.|[[Olimar]]|[[Olimar's notes]]}} and the [[Aristocrab Offspring]].{{cite quote|Perhaps it's a close relative of species in the Ambuloradicis class.|[[Olimar]]|[[Olimar's notes]]}} The [[Pellet Posy]] is said to be related to the pikmin and [[candypop family|candypop families]].{{cite quote|In the stem of the pellet posy, one can observe the muscle fiber unique to half-plant, half-animal species such as the Pikmin and candypop flowers, so the pellet posy is a species that can be considered a close relative.|[[Olimar]]|[[Olimar's notes]]}} The [[Candypop Bud]] is even speculated to be the "next step in Pikmin evolution".{{cite quote|Could this be the next step in Pikmin evolution? Like the Pikmin themselves, it has many mysteries.||[[Enemy reel]]}}
