A Mushroom Pikmin.

Mushroom Pikmin, also known as 'Zombie Pikmin' or 'Toadmin', are Pikmin that are under the control of a Puffstool. The spores of a Puffstool cause Pikmin to be morphed into to strange form, a process sometimes called 'zombification'. These Pikmin are purple, and have a black mouth with white pupiless eyes and an orange mushroom on their head rather than a flower, bud or leaf. They follow Captain Olimar and attack him until he shakes them off or loses all of his health. If Captin Olimar is not being attacked, you can usally find them dancing around the Puffstool. These Pikmin will also fight other Pikmin, this will just decrease your Pikmin population. Mushroom Pikmin will eventually turn back into their normal forms after a while.

There was a rumor going around GameFAQs about a glitch where somebody had four Pikmin get zombified and two turned white and attacked the Puffstool and didn't turn back to normal until they entered the Onion. This is a common thing on challenge mode, but it is unknown how the glitch occurs.
