Fog levels are a mix of night and pool levels but also have fog in the level, which can be removed temporarily with a Blover or removed with a Plantern or Torchwood until the end of the level or whenever the plant is removed with the shovel or eaten/destroyed by zombies. In Pool levels, plants must be either Aquatic or planted on a Lily Pad to be in the water. During Night, sun does not fall from the sky, so mushrooms are usually used because of their low sun cost.
There are many different plants, each with different abilities and special attributes. The purple ones in the bottom row are bought from Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies.
