A mushroom can grow by leveling up, enhancing its strength and stats. The amount of **EXP** required to reach a specific level is detailed below. Leveling up, or “growing,” requires **Spores**, with the cost increasing based on the character's current level.
You can determine if a character is ready to level up by checking their **EXP bar** on the character screen. Once the bar is full, a **Level Up** button will appear, allowing you to advance to the next level.
#### **Benefits of Leveling Up**
With each level-up, the mushroom’s **base stats** improve, including:
* **HP** (Health Points)
* **Defense**
* **Attack**
Keep growing your mushroom to unlock its full potential!
Note: If a mushroom reaches its threshhold to level up, it will not gain any new Exp until it levels up.
