As the side now competes for back-to-back promotions, Mullin has been in strong form again with the milestone strike his 19th in the league this season.
The goal, which drew Wrexham level in the second-half against Colchester, came from a Ryan Barnett cross that the 29-year-old headed in from close-range.
Max Cleworth's 85th minute winner completed the comeback for Wrexham and took them into second-place in the table, four points behind leaders Stockport County.
