For 'MOTHER' fans, if something grows from your head, it must be a mushroom. Is there anything else? What do you think?
A mushroom growing from your head means you're in a dazed state. If you get hit by the "Walking Mushroom's" spore attack, "It scattered spores!", you can't walk properly, and you move as if you're operating a Super Famicom controller upside down. And you might attack your allies too.
In other words, we, the Hobonichi MOTHER Project, who release various goods, are releasing a product that makes mushrooms grow on your head.
