MushGuses[1] are large, crimson mushroom enemies that appear in Star Fox Adventures. They are featured throughout Dinosaur Planet but are most prominent in ThornTail Hollow. They are among the first enemies encountered in the game.
When Fox passes a MushGus, it shakes around and then emits poisonous spores, which surrounds him. These do minimal damage, as they only deplete a quarter of a heart in Fox's life bar. MushGuses cannot be defeated, but Fox can temporarily stun them with the Fire Blaster. Generally, Fox must avoid these enemies by navigating around them.
