 The '''Puffstool''' ({{j|ボケナメコ|Boke Nameko|Stupid {{w|Pholiota nameko|Nameko}}}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' 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 of the game are supplied. The Puffstool is one of the enemies with which the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] happens fairly regularly; the frequency increased in the [[New Play Control! Pikmin|Wii version of the game]].
-The Puffstool will try to run when attacked, but its legs are clearly not made for sprinting and it trips easily, landing on its head with feet in the air. Since the cap is invulnerable to attack, [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] must be [[throw]]n onto its undersection once it's on the ground. Although Pikmin will not harm the Puffstools cap,Olimar headbutting still hurts the puffstool.
+The Puffstool will try to run when attacked, but its legs are clearly not made for sprinting and it trips easily, landing on its head with 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. Affected Pikmin turn purple, grow small brown mushroom caps on their stalks, and become aggressive. These Pikmin are known as [[Mushroom Pikmin]].

-To quickly dispatch the Puffstool, the player should bring about 80 [[Red Pikmin]] into its arena. First [[Group move|swarm]] its legs with about 30 Pikmin. Be careful when swarming, because although the Puffstool flipping around doesn't kill pikmins, There is a chance that the crushing glitch may happen and crush your pikmins. Don't throw the Pikmin, as they'll just bounce off of its cap and return to the group. It will try to run away, but flip over, legs flailing. In this state it can be killed by throwing all remaining Pikmin on top. It will die, and appear to deflate, leaving its cap, which can be carried by 10 Pikmin to their Onion.

 To minimize the risk of losing Pikmin, it is recommended to attack only with the [[leader]]. Furthermore, the Puffstool has no attacks that could harm Olimar. Note, however, that this may consume a fair amount of time, and as the sporing habits of the Puffstool are fully predictable, having Pikmin turned into Mushroom Pikmin is usually not a problem for competent players. Should you run the risk of being attacked, however, just run away until the spore cloud dissipates.
