      The “mushroom” part of any fungus is a very small proportion of the overall organism. Mushrooms are just the “fruit bodies”, the reproductive organs, of the fungus. The fruit runs off to spread spores. The real body of it is spread out underground in a vast mycelium network. Trust the fungus.

      Maybe the mushrooms act more as fruit, drawing Marios into dangerous areas to be killed. The ‘main’ part might be housed in the corpse itself.

      The 1ups that home in on you in Mario 64 now feel even more sinister.
