Fungus

Fungus is a recurring (fan) character of Happy tree Friends. He first appeared in the episode Trash Day.

He is a brown-green skunk with messy fur. He is well known for his love of garbage - he sleeps in a trash can and eats thrown-away food, though his favorite food is day-old pizza. He carries a bad smell which usually makes other characters sick and occasionally vomit when he passes by. Fungus sometimes uses his odour as an advantage (such as waiting in long lines) by spraying and clearing space. He never takes a bath due to his fear of water.

He doesn't seem to have many friends because of his smell, with the exception of Cuddles, Lumpy, Trippy, and Robo Star. He also has a crush on Petunia, though she hates him because of how unsanitary he is. But that doesn't stop him from making "efforts".

He dies in most episodes he appears in, but survives in The Smell of Love, Nail White Part 1, A History Be Known, One Last Crusade (debatably), and Bottling it Up Inside.
