The '''Puffstool''' ({{j|ボケナメコ| | The '''Puffstool''' ({{j|ボケナメコ| Nameko|Stupid {{w|Pholiota nameko|Nameko}}}}) is an enemy in {{p1}} and {{p4}} that appears to be a huge walking fungus, strongly resembling a red-capped bolete. It has twin antennae, a red-capped mushroom head, and a tender yellow torso which is vulnerable to [[Group move|swarming]]. Only minimal details of the creature's biology are supplied in-game. | ||
The Puffstool will try to run when attacked, but due to its stumpy legs clearly not being made for sprinting, it trips easily, landing on its head with its feet in the air. Since the cap is invulnerable to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] attacks (but not Olimar's [[punch]]), one must [[throw]] the Pikmin onto its undersection once it's on the ground. After a few seconds, the Puffstool will right itself up and blow out a purplish cloud of spores which cause a strange change in nearby Pikmin, which the Puffstool acts as a [[leader]] for. | The Puffstool will try to run when attacked, but due to its stumpy legs clearly not being made for sprinting, it trips easily, landing on its head with its feet in the air.

|common = Puffstool. It is a combination of "puff", referring to how it blows out spores, and "toadstool" (mushroom), referring to its appearance. The "puff" can also come from the name "{{w|puffball}}" which is given to any fungi in the division {{w|Basidiomycota}}. | |common = Puffstool.

|scientific = ''Fungirussus elasticis''. ''Fungirussus'' is a combination of “fungi” and ''russus'', Latin for red. ''Elasticis'' refers to the creature’s elastic cap. [[Canon#Debatable_canon|Unofficially]], in the ''Pikmin'' Player’s Guide, its scientific name is ''Aspergilla podronis''. ''Podronis'' may refer to the pods some fungus releases through gases, much like the Puffstool does to infect Pikmin. | |scientific = ''Fungirussus elasticis''.
