The '''Boo Mushroom''' is a type of [[Mushroom]] that appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' and turns [[Mario]] into [[Boo Mario]] or [[Luigi]] into Boo Luigi. It is a white mushroom with a [[Boo]]-like face.

It is used only once in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', in the [[Boo Moon Galaxy]].

The Boo Mushroom gives Mario the power to float in midair and through specific walls. Using the [[Spin]] command causes Boo Mario to become intangible, allowing him to move through barriers.

The Boo Mushroom gives Mario the power to do several things that Boos can do, such as float through walls and fly. He can become intangible if the player shakes the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] and he can then go through the object. Another effect of being Boo Mario is that Mario will attract other Boos towards it and those Boos will make him lose the form by touching him. The only other way to become Mario from Boo Mario is to go into a light beam.
