So there's this fungus on Hawaii that's super deadly to trees. I figure the local Paras/Parasects got infested with that instead of the regular mushrooms, and don't have a parasitic fungus growing out of 'em.
Which means Alolan Parasects grew to be much larger, as they were able to consume all the nutrients the fungus would normally take for itself.
