Spore Shroom in Hollow Knight is one out of the 45 Charms that is found in the game. These charms are special items that provide The Knight buffs that will help with both traversing Hallownest and battling its foes. Charms require Notches and can only be equipped and unequipped while having The Knight sit on a bench.
Spore Shroom Information
"Composed of living fungal matter. Scatters spores when exposed to SOUL."
Spore Shroom is a defensive charm that is useful for damaging slow or stagnant. Once The Knight heals a mask using Focus, it releases a cloud of spores that deals 1 damage per tick and has a duration of 4.1 seconds. Multiple clouds can be released if you heal several masks continuously.
Players may strengthen the damage to 2 per tick if the Defender's Crest charm is equipped at the same time. However, the cloud will only last for 20 ticks of damage for a total of 40 damage points.
While The Knight has this charm equipped, it will be able to understand the mushroom language in the following cases:
- Selected Mushroom Lore Tablets found in Fungal Wastes.
- Shrumal Warrior and Shrumal Ogre's Dream Nail dialogues
- Mister Mushroom's dialogue and his Lore Tablet in Kingdom's Edge. This is required for completing his quest line and earning the "Passing Of The Age" achievement.
