The family went unclassified until {{hp}}, though the term sporovid was used as the technical name of the Puffstool in the Player's Guide, and these technical names often contained family names. Most members of the species resemble mushrooms, but some are shown to be more parasitic in nature and attach themselves to hosts. | ||
Members belong to the ''Fungirussus'', ''Aspergilla'', or ''Parasitus'' genus. | |||

A Puffstool relative introduced in Pikmin 4 that releases poison instead of panic inducing gas. It can create poisonous mushrooms, spreads patches of sticky mold, and can infect creatures to help spread spores. It can also resurrect slain Moldy Dwarf Bulborbs and Moldy Slooches by exposing their corpses to its spores. | |||

Similar to the Moldy Slooch and the Moldy Dwarf Bulborb, Mushroom Pikmin are possessed Pikmin created by the spores of a [[Puffstool]]. Although they are yet to be confirmed as members of the family, the Japanese website stated that they may no longer count as [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].{{cite web|https://www.nintendo.com/jp/character/pikmin/report/02.html|調査レポート|Pikmin Garden|quote=もはやピクミンとは思えないような姿の種類もいるようだ……。|retrieved=21 July 2023}} | |||
