Trivia

• The Funghoul's name is most likely a pun on the often mispronounced Italian curse word "fongool", or "vaffanculo", as well as "Fungi".
• The Morphean Mushroom's name is derived from Morpheus, the Greek god of slumber.

It's Japanese name, Matango, is a reference to a 1963 body horror film from Toho studios.
