{{quote|I bought some [[mushroom]]s for a new recipe, but I left them in the car and now they're rotten. Rotten and vengeful. You're going to have to outrun them if you want the reward.|World-Renowned Chef|''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''}}
'''Rotten Mushrooms''' are purple or magenta mushrooms with a skull shape that appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They replace [[1-Up Mushroom]]s at night, but only for the Ground course theme. However, the descriptions of two Story Mode levels posted by World-Renowned Chef ([[Begone, Rotten Mushroom!]] and [[Rotten Produce]]) imply that Rotten Mushrooms are [[Super Mushroom]]s that have rotted over time and became vengeful. Unlike most mushrooms, Rotten Mushrooms actively pursue the player, even jumping up ledges up to two blocks high to reach them. However, if the player has [[Invincible Mario|invincibility]] from a [[Super Star]], Rotten Mushrooms will evade them instead. Touching a Rotten Mushroom damages the player, similar to a [[Poison Mushroom]], making it a hazardous obstacle. Their skull-like design and role as an "evil" counterpart to "good" mushrooms makes them comparable to Poison Mushrooms, [[Zombie Shroom]]s, and [[Ghoul Shroom]]s. Additionally, the object filename for the Rotten Mushroom in ''Super Mario Maker 2''{{'}}s internal data is "Poison Kinoko", which is a partial translation of the Poison Mushroom's Japanese name. The ''[[Super Mario World]]'' version of the Rotten Mushroom's sprite resembles [[Bowser's Flame]]s from said game.

Although Rotten Mushrooms can only be placed in Ground night courses, they can be brought into other themes if [[Yoshi]] grabs one with his tongue and travels through a [[Warp Pipe]] to another area. They display unique behaviors in other themes:
* They behave as normal, albeit upside-down, in the Underground night theme.
* They are slowed by water but jump three blocks high instead of two in the Forest and Underwater themes.
* They bear a small circle of light in the Ghost House and Underwater night themes.
* They are affected by low [[gravity]] in the Sky and [[Airship]] night themes.
* They are slowed down by [[lava]] and [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]] in the [[Castle]] and night Forest themes, respectively.
* They are unaffected by the wind in the night Desert theme.
As Yoshi is only featured in the ''Super Mario World'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' game styles, Rotten Mushrooms cannot appear outside of Ground night courses in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' game styles.
