- The Mango Karin was surprisingly not in the Spring Room, instead being in the Winter Room, however since it can grow to an incredible size it is likely that its roots are in the Spring Room, while its stem grew all the way through the other three rooms and into the Winter Room, where it would eventually grow even bigger than the Mush Room itself.
