A '''Life Shroom''' 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 Shroom 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 Shroom 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 [[Gold Credit]]. They can be obtained in the following locations:

 

In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', the item can be bought for forty [[coin]]s at the [[Twilight Shop]] in [[Twilight Town]] and for fifty coins at [[Westside Goods]] in [[Rogueport]]. One can be found in [[Hooktail Castle]], [[Twilight Trail]] and the [[Palace of Shadow]]. At shops within the game, they are given away as a shopping prize when the player reaches one-hundred and fifty points. Life Shrooms are also found in [[? Block]]s later in the game. Life Shrooms can also be carried by an enemy in battle. When the enemy is defeated, the Life Shroom 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.

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]].

*In the code for ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', there is an item that looks similar to the Life Shroom 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 Shroom can be made by cooking a Mushroom with a Goomnut, Koopa Leaf, or Strange Leaf, which is only true for the Japanese version of the game.
