"Hey lets add a really fun botany plant that produces negative light"
"Okay now lets nerf it to oblivion in a circlejerk almost revert that just makes it produce purple light at max potency"
Need I say more?

if botanists release it they're valid
but either way purple light plant is even worse because it's just annoying and boring.

It's a really bad "feature", basically it's just a meme that limits meaningful interactions in the game.
While the powersink is actually somewhat interesting, this is just dumb shit you have to spend half the round welding if you want to undo it.

I'd be okay to just making it a plant that emits darkness but isn't plantable.

Just make it interesting - if you crush it in hand it sucks the light out of the surrounding area briefly, to let you escape/sneak into somewhere/gib some nerd/whatever.
Stepping on them if they're growing on the floor does the same thing but a much smaller area, and only while you're on it.

I don't see why they couldn't have some unique chemicals attributed to it, because functionally there isn't any difference between them or explicit reason to grow them besides from aesthetics. Infact you can remove the darkness gene entirely and have them be prettier glowshrooms with plant disk shenanigans.
- Sort of blindness chemical that inflicts when it is sprayed on contact or injested 90% and 10% production of a chemical that gives you night vision as long as it's only ever applied onto the eyes with a dropper because injestion/other bodily contact is toxic.
walk around with a beaker & a dropper of night vision solution heh, creeping through the umbral mushroom patches & inky black darkness.

Our current version of kudzu is bit too strong, like, it can be round ending.
If it gets bad, using a flamethrower is justified. Goat can kill it well too, if its not really mutated.
I still think it's less anoying to fight, but maybe it shouldnt block line of sight without a specific mutation.

How about we make the goat eat the shadowshrooms and glowshrooms, actually. Boom, there's your counter

It is not, it's pretty rare and the flavor of having to escape from a station where encroaching, deadly vines are smothering the walls and exterior is pretty rad

Smoke is not the same as darkness. Also that's like saying there should only be one gun because they all boil down to doing the same thing.

How about spraying shroom patches with weedkiller will just cause the patch to lose health and die?
Fungicide essentially. It'd need to have a special 'toxin resistant' gene in order to be less effective, maybe thats something that shadowshroom could have as a unique mutation.
Id also like to see a type of mushroom that spits out spores of its reagent into surrounding people's bloodstreams if they are unlucky/lucky enough to inhale it.
