Glowing mushrooms defending a moonlit garden lawn against zombies

Fume-Shroom and Puff-Shroom: PvZ Lawn Night Guide

Night belongs to the mushrooms. These two are cheap, purpose-built for the dark, and the reason night levels are winnable.

Puff-shroom: the free defender

Zero sun cost. Short range, modest damage, but free means you can carpet lanes while your economy grows. Plant them as speed bumps in every threatened lane on wave one; replace the least useful ones with fume-shrooms as sun allows.

Fume-shroom: the door killer

The spray pierces: it hits every zombie in range and ignores screen doors entirely. Against door pushes it out-damages everything short of a cherry bomb. Place it behind a wall-nut in door-heavy lanes and watch the push dissolve. Full night context in our night level guide.

Placement that works

Fume-shrooms want the middle of the lawn: close enough to reach, far enough to stay safe. Two fume lanes plus puff filler holds all three night levels. Do not waste them on day levels; peas outrange them in daylight.

The night core, summarized

Sun-shrooms for money (why they beat sunflowers at night), puff-shrooms for free coverage, fume-shrooms for killing. That trio plus wall-nuts is the entire night game, and every plant is detailed in our roster guide.
