The '''Common Glowcap''' is a luminescent [[fungus]] and is used as scenery in some [[area]]s and [[cave]]s. They are a source of light when "awake", which can be used in the [[leaders]]' favor.
The '''Common Glowcap''' ({{j|ヒカリキノコ|Hikari Kinoko|Light Mushroom}}) is a luminescent [[fungus]] and is used as scenery in some [[area]]s and [[cave]]s. They are a source of light when "awake", which can be used in the [[leaders]]' favor.


In the first two games, they are purely aesthetic, and as scenery, the Glowcaps do not change gameplay at all, unlike their supposed "relative", the [[Glowstem]], which may cause [[bomb-rocks]] to fall upon contact with it.

In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' these plants are initially found buried in the ground with only the tops showing; they do not give light in this state. Contact with them will make them rise out and light up a small area around them. The light from these plants can damage and kill [[Phosbat]]s, as well as provide shelter from the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. Two variations exist: a cyan one and a pink one. They can also have different sizes, sometimes. The color influences the light that comes out (of the same color), but nothing else.

"''These luminescent mushrooms can be very useful when you're exploring a dark cave. When a Glowcap is dormant, it looks like nothing more than a spot of light on the ground. When you pass over a dormant Glowcap, however, it springs out of the ground and illuminates the immediate area.''"
