Sticky mold

Sticky mold is an obstacle in Pikmin 4. They are circular patches of mold on the ground that will slow down the leader and Oatchi (both before obtaining the Gunk Busters) and all Pikmin except Winged Pikmin and Glow Pikmin. Sticky mold prevents grounded Pikmin and Oatchi from carrying objects through them including treasures and enemy corpses. Even Glow Pikmin and Oatchi with the Gunk Busters are unable to carry objects through the mold. Only Winged Pikmin can carry over sticky mold patches. They also prevent all Pikmin types and Oatchi from carrying any objects that are on the mold or covered by it, even concealing Candypop Buds and cave exits in some rare cases. Every patch of sticky mold also has several mushrooms on it, with some patches having poisonous mushrooms instead. Destroying every mushroom on a patch will make the sticky mold disappear.

The Toxstool is able to regenerate patches of sticky mold with poison mushrooms with its spores.
