The '''Fungus Unit''' is seemingly a job position and branch of the [[Dinohattan]] police department in the 1993 [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]]. Upon the arrest of [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Toad (film character)|Toad]], they are taken by a police officer named Mike to a room where two men in radiation-type suits power wash the inside of Mario and Luigi's pants. One of the Fungus Unit characters then proceeds to dump a blue liquid out of an overhanging barrel over the brothers. Mario asks, "What was that?" to which Toad replies, "The Fungus Unit. The fungus is choking the city." | The '''Fungus Unit''' is seemingly a job position and branch of the [[Dinohattan]] police department in the 1993 [[Super Mario Bros.

The fungus in question is later revealed to be [[The King]]'s [[De-evolution|de-evolved]] fungus form that has grown and spread throughout Dinohattan. [[President Koopa]]'s character is demonstrated to be a germophobe, wary of being contaminated by the growing fungus throughout the city. This would explain the need for a Fungus Unit to decontaminate city residents (the term to "de-fungus" referring to this process), though no other character shows signs of germophobia besides President Koopa and the fungus is not directly shown to be able to negatively affect any character. [[Iggy (film character)|Iggy]] and [[Spike (film character)|Spike]] mention to President Koopa that [[Princess Daisy (film character)|Daisy]] has been de-fungused before taking her in to [[Koopa's Tower]].
