{{transcript|Red Sporovids seem to have developed higher functions than other fungi, as evidenced by the protruding reproductive organs on their caps. These organs act much like a flower would on a normal plant. This species appears to be able to separate for a short time from the fungal colony to which it belongs. This occurs when the mushroom cap has reached a certain size and the spore sac is full. It will then sever its connection to the colony to walk around a limited area to spread the spores. This walking form can no longer absorb nutrients from the colony, but if the released spores contact another living creature, spore-encased fungal filaments will begin an explosive cycle of reproduction within the host, taking over its central nervous system. The host will be controlled by the Red Sporovid within its area of activity. Edible, considered a delicacy. Referred to as "punchstool" in some locales.}}

{{transcript|Chase the puffstool and crowd your Pikmin around its feet to topple the mushroom. When it's upside-down, toss Pikmin onto its stem. If the puffstool flips back over, its cap will tremble—the telltale sign that it's about to release poisonous spores. Retreat or the spores will turn your Pikmin into zombies.}}
