* Not really an example of scenery, but the card game ''[[Munchkin (game)|Munchkin]]'' has a literal
** With the right cards, you can have an entire extended family grouping of mushrooms eat your character.
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' has a card called Fungusaur. It's a 2 power, 2 toughness creature that gets a +1/+1 counter (permanent power and toughness boost) whenever it takes damage and is not killed, making this sort of a Fungus Humongous.

* During the "Order 66" bit in ''[[Star Wars]]: [[Revenge of the Sith]]'', one of the Jedi to die is on [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/2/2b/Atotfelucia.jpg Felucia] at the time. Something of a subversion in that most of the fungi on Felucia looks nothing like Earth fungi.
** Indeed. Most people immediately after the film referred to the planet as "Doctor Seuss Mushroom World". That's how strange Felucia looks.
* ''Dreamcatcher'' the film of the book by [[Stephen King]] has a race of [[To Serve Man|parasitic]] aliens whose biology [[Living Ship|and spaceships]] are based on

*** Module A4 ''In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords''. The Mushroom Garden is filled with mushrooms up to 9 feet tall and have trunks as thick as a tree. The Fungus Forest is filled with giant mushrooms and toadstools and huge puffball fungi.
* Chaosium's ''Trollpak'' supplement for ''[[Rune Quest]]''. The Sporewood is an underground Mushroom Wood with a variety of immense fungi, including toadstools.
Line 90:
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls]] 3: [[Morrowind]]'' has giant mushrooms scattered across the island of Vvardenfell, a lot of times in lieu of actual trees. House Telvanni has most of it's buildings in giant mushrooms and other giant plants.
** ''The Shivering Isles'' expansion to ''[[The Elder Scrolls]] 4: Oblivion'' likewise features giant mushrooms.
** ''[[The Elder Scrolls]] 5: Skyrim'' is mostly mushroom-free, with one very notable
* In the [[Warcraft]] series we first see giant mushrooms in ''Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal'' on Draenor, the native world of the orcs, and these mushrooms provided the same lumber as trees. ''Warcraft III'' and [[WoW]] added other places with giant mushrooms growing there - such as some dungeons and the Plaguelands. Strangely, in [[WoW]]'s Outland - the place that remained of Draenor after its [[Apocalypse How|destruction]] - the only place where giant mushrooms grow is Zangarmarsh.
* ''Diablo'' has a quest line where the player must retrieve a larger-than-average black mushroom. The blacksmith, Griswold, exaggerates its size by calling it "A huge, gargantuan, swollen, bloated mushroom". {{spoiler|It wasn't so big.}} [http://youtu.be/1q0ltHwY4xQ?t=46s Quest: The Black Mushroom]

* In the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' cartoon, there is the Mushromp, a forest dotted with large mushrooms that is the home of the Moochick.
* [[Tintin]] encountered huge mushrooms in ''The Shooting Star'' (L'?oile myst?euse), which {{spoiler|promptly explode}}, just like in the comic version mentioned above.
