The '''Black Fungus''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] found in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]''.

==Design==
A Black Fungus has a spherical, pitch black head with two glowing yellow, beady eyes. It wears a round, purple cap on its head that sports two black, angular spirals on its front. It also seems to wear a navy blue smock that completely covers its legs and thin, fingerless arms. Its Heartless emblem is present on the front of this smock.

The Black Fungus's name references its dark coloration, as well as ''{{w|Fungus|Fungi}}'', a biological kingdom that contains organisms such as mushrooms and truffles.

==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
Black Fungus are present on the field as soon as the area is entered, unlike other Heartless, indicating to the player their presence.

Unlike the other Mushroom Heartless, it is hostile. It is very resistant to damage despite its low HP. It can become invulnerable for a short time to defend itself and release poisonous gases, making it very hard to defeat on top of having high defense stats. If Sora finishes them off with a [[Critical Hit]] at the end of a combo, they may either drop a [[Mystery Goo]] (100%), or a [[Mystery Mold]] (10%). It is possible for them to drop both, and upon being finished with a Critical Hit as aforementioned, they drop around 20 to 100 Munny.

If having trouble finding Mystery Mold after defeating a Black Fungus, use [[Trinity Limit]]. If Sora doesn't have Trinity Limit yet, use [[Gravity]], as it is usually a one-hit knockout. Since the Black Fungus drop Mystery Mold after critical hits, make sure to remove all Combo Pluses before fighting them to shorten the length of the combo.

===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
As with ''Kingdom Hearts'', the Black Fungus will periodically turn itself invincible. The cards it uses are numbered 7, so make sure your cards are valued high enough. It is always recommended to attack a Black Fungus before initiating a fight, in order to prevent it from turning itself invincible shortly.

Defeating Black Fungi yields a Calm Bounty card (unless in Traverse Town), if not its own Enemy Card, in Sora's Story, or a Roulette Room card in ''Reverse/Rebirth''{{ReCoM}}, so exhausting Black Room cards is a rather easy way to stock up on those cards. 

In ''Sora's Story'', using the [[Mega Flare]] or [[Blizzaga]] [[Sleight]] on it while in Traverse Town is a good strategy to finish it off quickly, making it less time-consuming to earn its Enemy Card. It also is a good opponent to use in easily obtaining a [[Pluto card]]{{ReCoM}} to help complete [[Jiminy's Journal]], as it does not attack that often and is easy to escape from. Due to its resistance to Warp, it isn't recommended to use a deck built around it to try obtaining its Enemy Card.
