It’s easy to get the hang of both the game and the gameplay: every player (there can’t be more than four) starts in one corner of the 5x5 field. To navigate his mushrooms, each player has two options: he can hop two fields or else simply move to the closest field—if he opts for the latter, he will receive the added bonus of the mushroom being cloned.
If it’s Player A’s turn and he moves his mushroom near an enemy mushroom, the enemy mushrooms will explode and new Player A mushrooms will pop up instead.
As I mentioned, up to four players can battle it out, and there’s also the option of playing against and artificial intelligence (AI) or other puny earthlings from the same smartphone.
AI has four levels: Easy, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert.
There’s also the option of forming teams, so that, e.g. two teams of two people play against each other.
I have to admit the whacky greeting made me chuckle, and after playing a few rounds of Wrath of the Fungi I started to get into the game, as you get the hang of the gameplay quite quickly and thus can get going fairly rapidly. However, I did notice that you can basically wipe out your opponent with just a few moves, irrelevant of which level you chose to play. So if you’re looking to play a longer match this might prove to be a bit annoying. That being said, as soon as there are more mushrooms on the playing field it does take longer to beat the opponent, and so it does get to be more challenging.

The game is a BLAST! I just wish there was version I could play on my honeycomb 10 in tablet (Asus Transformer), since this one doesn't work.
