Editing Glowcap family

{{game icons|p=y|p2=y|p3=y}}
The '''glowcap family''' is a family of [[fungi]] found in the four main [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], as well as ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. Both variants shed light and are found only [[cave|underground]]. In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', they are only cosmetic, like most [[plants]]. However, in ''Pikmin 3'', the [[Common Glowcap]] can be used as shelter from the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] and can be used for light. This type of glowcap is also used in ''Pikmin Adventure'' to briefly light up cave sections, which is what happens when touched.

{{main|Common Glowcap}}

Scientific name: ''Fungi luminarium''

Common Glowcaps resemble common mushrooms, and their glow is always of a pale blue; this is due, according to [[Olimar's notes]], to a radioactive isotope known to [[Hocotate|Hocotatians]] as "Hocotatium 111".

{{main|Glowstem}}

Scientific name: ''Nocturnica illuminati''

Rather than actual fungi, Glowstems are LEDs (light emitting diodes) with either a green or orange light. If touched, the light will flicker for a moment, and then return to normal. They are found in caves with metallic scenery.
