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]]''.


The '''Black Fungus''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''. Unlike the other Mushroom Heartless, it is very aggressive. It can turn into stone to defend itself and release poisonous gases, making it very hard to defeat. If you finish 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]], they drop around 20 to 100 Munny.
==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.


==Journal Entry==
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''===
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
''Hostile Heartless, unlike White Mushrooms.  They attack with poison.  Defeating them may bring good things, but it is not easy.''
Black Fungus are present on the field as soon as the area is entered, unlike other Heartless, indicating to the player their presence.


===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===
Unlike the other Mushroom Heartless, it is hostile. It is very resistant to damage despite its low HP, can become invulnerable for a short time to defend itself and release poisonous gases, making it very hard to defeat. 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.
''An aggressive, poisonous Heartless, not to be confused with the White Mushroom.''


''The Black Fungus likes to paralyze its foes and toy with them.''
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.

''It's tough to beat, but victory doesn't go unrewarded...''
===''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.


==Locations==
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.  
*[[Olympus Coliseum]] (Pegasus Cup, Seed 5) (Hades Cup, Seed 36)
*[[Agrabah]] (Bazaar)
*[[Halloween Town]] (Moonlight Hill)
*[[Hollow Bastion]] (Dungeon) (Note: They appear very often there.)
*[[End of the World]] (The area right before Final Rest)


==Card==
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.

==Hints==
===''Kingdom Hearst Re:coded''===
If you're having trouble finding Mystery Goos whenever you find Black Fungus use [[Trinity Limit]] after getting it from The Hades Cup.
{{atk-o|rec}}
After using it once, use it again on another one, after quickly using an ether.
{{atk|{{nihongo|'''Dark Contact'''|ダークタッチ|<br>Dāku Tatchi|lit. "Dark Touch"}}|{{AT|att}} —|Command Lock (Low)|1.00 [1.16]|◯|Strikes with both hands.}}

{{atk-c|rec}}


If you're having problems with defeating Black Fungus and you don't have Trinity Limit yet, use [[Gravity]]. It is a near-instant KO if successful.
;Olympus Coliseum
{{atk-o|lab}}
{{atk-lab|{{nihongo|'''Dark Contact'''|ダークタッチ|<br>Dāku Tatchi|lit. "Dark Touch"}}|Near (Single)|—|1.2|120%|28%|Early|Strikes with both hands.}}
{{atk-lab|{{nihongo|'''Dark Poison'''|ダークポイズン|<br>Dāku Poizun}}|Self|—|—|—|—|—|Scatters poisonous mist to increase defense.}}
{{atk-c|lab}}


Since the Black Fungus drop Mystery Goos after critical hits at end of combos, unequip all combo pluses before you fight them to shorten the length of your combo and that'll increase the chance you'll get them to drop the Goos.

The Black Fungus is an Emblem Heartless found in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, and Kingdom Hearts Union χ.

Design[edit]

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 Fungi, a biological kingdom that contains organisms such as mushrooms and truffles.

Strategy[edit]

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

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, can become invulnerable for a short time to defend itself and release poisonous gases, making it very hard to defeat. 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[edit]

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[KH Re:CoM], 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[KH Re:CoM] 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.
