A '''Life Mushroom''', referred to as a '''Life Shroom''' prior to the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'']], is an item found in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. Whenever [[Mario]] (or his partner in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|The Thousand-Year Door]]'') is defeated in battle, the Life Mushroom will revive the character and return ten [[Heart Point|HP]] to them. If both Mario and his partner lose all of their HP at the same time, both will be revived to ten HP, but only one Life Mushroom will be used.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Life Shrooms can be found throughout the world, purchased, and cooked by [[Tayce T.]] In addition to their primary usage, they serve as an ingredient in several recipes and can be given to [[Koopa Koot]] in exchange for 1 coin and the [[Golden Card|Gold Credit]].

In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Life Mushrooms are given away as a shopping prize when the player reaches 150 shop points. They can also be carried by an enemy in battle. When the enemy is defeated, the Life Mushroom revives the enemy just as it would Mario or his partner; however, it then has a high chance of being dropped after the battle is over. [[Ms. Mowz]] can also use [[Kiss Thief]] to steal the item in battle. In this game, it is not possible to save this item just for Mario's use; partners automatically use it if their life is depleted, no matter what. The Puni Elder also demands one of these as an emergency ration in the Trouble Center. In the Nintendo Switch remake, Life Mushrooms can also be bought from a Toad in [[Pirate's Grotto]] for 40 coins after defeating Cortez.

They reappear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', but only recover five HP when Mario, [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]] or [[Luigi]] falls. They can be used at any time to restore five HP and/or cure [[Poison (status effect)|Poison]]. They may drop from [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]].

==Notes==
[[File:Dummyshroombeta MLRPG3.png|thumb|The unobtainable DUMMY item has an icon similar to a Life Mushroom.]]
*In the code for ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', there is an item that looks similar to the Life Mushroom named '''DUMMY'''. If used while inside Bowser, Mario or Luigi will throw it into the air, where it explodes and restores 60 HP to Bowser. This item was most likely [[List of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story pre-release and unused content#Unused data|scrapped from the game]] because only the [[Sea Pipe Statue|Stone Blooper]] can damage Bowser while in [[Bowser's body|his body]]. It can only be obtained by hacking.
*The Official Nintendo Player's Guide for ''Paper Mario'' states on page 124 that a Life Mushroom can be made by cooking a Mushroom with a Goomnut, Koopa Leaf, or Strange Leaf, despite this not being possible in international releases.
