Spore Shroom Charm
Spore Shroom is a defensive Charm in Hollow Knight that is composed of living fungal matter. It is one of 45 Charms found in the game, which are special items that provide buffs to the Knight to aid them in traversing Hallownest and battling its foes. Charms require Notches and can only be equipped and unequipped while the Knight is sitting on a bench.
Spore Shroom is useful for damaging slow or static enemies, dealing 1 damage every 0.15 seconds without any other Charms equipped. This damage can be increased to 2 damage every 0.2 seconds by equipping the Defender's Crest Charm alongside Spore Shroom. When using Focus, Spore Shroom releases a cloud of damaging spores around the Knight, which is particularly effective against enemies like Crystal Hunters, Stalking Devouts, and Heavy Sentries. It is also useful in confined arenas, such as the Colosseum of Fools, and during certain boss fights, such as Broken Vessel and Lost Kin, as it instantly kills the Infected Balloons spawned during those encounters.
Additionally, Spore Shroom is necessary to understand the language of Mister Mushroom, an NPC found in seven hidden locations throughout Hallownest after all three Dreamers have been defeated. Equipping Spore Shroom allows the Knight to understand Mister Mushroom's dialogue, which otherwise sounds like gibberish. By finding and speaking to Mister Mushroom in all seven locations and completing the game, players can unlock a secret cutscene and the \"Passing of the Age\" achievement.

Quest requirements
To unlock the Mr. Mushroom cutscene, players must complete the Mr. Mushroom quest in Hollow Knight. This quest has several requirements that must be fulfilled in a specific order. Here is a step-by-step guide to the quest requirements:
Defeat the Three Dreamers
Before beginning the Mr. Mushroom quest, players must defeat the three Dreamers: Herrah, Lurien, and Monomon. Only after defeating them will Mr. Mushroom start appearing in various locations across Hallownest.
Equip the Spore Shroom Charm
To understand Mr. Mushroom's language, players must equip the Spore Shroom Charm before interacting with him. Without this charm, players will only hear gibberish, and the quest will not progress. The Spore Shroom Charm can be found in the Fungal Wastes.
Find Mr. Mushroom in All Seven Locations
Mr. Mushroom can be found in seven hidden locations across Hallownest. Players must visit each location in a specific order and interact with Mr. Mushroom at each spot. The locations are as follows:
- Fungal Wastes: Where Cornifer used to sell his map.
- Kingdom's Edge: In the far left area, between Isma's Grove and The Hive. The Tram Pass is required to access this area.
- Deepnest: In the room where you encounter Galien.
- Howling Cliffs: In the house of Nailmaster Mato.
- Ancient Basin: Past the Broken Vessel boss room, before acquiring the Monarch Wings.
- Queen's Gardens entrance: Near the Monarch Wings altar.
- King's Pass: This is believed to be the final location, where players may encounter the "new lands entered" mentioned in the poem.
Interact with Mr. Mushroom at Each Location
At each location, players must use their Nail to "hit" Mr. Mushroom and trigger his dialogue. Players should run through the dialogue until Mr. Mushroom burrows into the ground and leaves. This interaction must be completed at all seven locations, in the correct order, for the quest to be considered complete.
By fulfilling these requirements and completing the Mr. Mushroom quest, players will unlock a secret cutscene and earn the "Passing of the Age" achievement.
