Watch Out! The Lying Poison Mushroom (あぶない！嘘つき毒きのこ, Abunai! Usotsuki Doku Kinoko) is the thirty-first episode of Ultraman Taro.

Synopsis[]

When the monster, Mushra, appears in the city, ZAT is called in immediately. Ultraman Taro destroys the monster with his Taro Fire, but a single spore from the mushroom survives. After the battle Kotaro meets a lonely child, Daisuke. In order to cheer up the boy, he lends them the Plant Transceiver, which allows humans to communicate with plants. Using this device, Daisuke finds the surviving mushroom and is forcibly transformed into a massive monster.
