===Physiology===
Foongus is a white, mushroom-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a cap that looks quite similar to a {{i|Poké Ball}}. It has stubby, digit-less arms, a tiny mouth with large pink lips, and pinprick-like dark eyes. A theory suggests that the developer of modern Poké Balls actually modeled it after Foongus's cap due to liking the Pokémon, although this is supposition.
Foongus is a mushroom-like Pokémon. Its cap looks quite similar to a [[Poké Ball]], and its white, stem-like body sports stubby, digit-less arms, a large pink mouth, and pinprick-like dark eyes.
 
Foongus uses its Poké Ball-like pattern to lure people and Pokémon in grassy areas, before releasing a cloud of poisonous spores to defend itself. The spores can be used as a stomach medicine if thoroughly dried. Foongus moves by either hopping or turning on its side and rolling on its cap. It is one of the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. It prefers damp places, such as around trees.
 
===Evolution===
Foongus evolves into {{p|Amoonguss}}.

* According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Foongus, {{p|Amoonguss}}, {{p|Ferroseed}}, and {{p|Ferrothorn}} were all designed by the same designer.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

It appears to be based on ''{{wp|amanita muscaria}}'' or mushrooms of the ''{{wp|agaricus}}'' genus, due to it being {{type|Poison}}. The cap is designed to look like the front of a Poké Ball.  
Foongus appears to be based on ''{{wp|Amanita muscaria}}'' or mushrooms of the ''{{wp|Agaricus}}'' genus, due to it being {{type|Poison}}. Like {{p|Voltorb}} and its {{p|Electrode|evolved form}}, the idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs. It tarning as an useful object and its poison type could also generally be a reference to {{wp|mushroom poisoning|poisonous mushrooms}} which look like {{wp|edible mushroom}}s.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Foongus is a corruption of ''{{wp|fungus}}'' and may be a combination of ''fool'' (to deceive, referencing its use of its Poké Ball-like cap to attract unsuspecting prey) and ''fungus''. Together with {{p|Amoonguss|its evolution}}, their names are a corruption of the phrase, "Fungus among us."
Foongus may be a combination of ''fool'' (to deceive) and ''fungus''. Together with {{p|Amoonguss|its evolution}}, their names are a corruption of the phrase, "Fungus among us." This is confirmed by Ali the [[Student (Trainer class)|Student]] in [[North Province (Area Two)]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].


Tamagetake may be a combination of 玉 ''tama'' (sphere), 魂消る ''tamageru'' (to be astonished), and 茸 ''take'' ({{wp|mushroom}}, or more specifically, the ''{{wp|Shiitake}}'' mushroom).
