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
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
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 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. 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 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 obtaining a Pluto card[KH Re:CoM] to help complete Jiminy's Journal, as it does not attack that often.
