The Common Glowcap is a luminescent mushroom and is used as scenery in The Forest Navel in Pikmin, as well as multiple caves in Pikmin 2. As scenery, the Glowcap does not change gameplay at all, unlike its supposed 'relative', the Glowstem, which may cause Bomb-rocks to fall upon contact with it. In Pikmin 3 these plants can be found buried in the ground with only the tops showing. Contact with them will make them rise out and light up a small area around it. The light from these plants can damage and kill Vehemoth Phosbat babies.
Notes
Olimar's notes
“The light emitted from this rare mushroom is neither a reflection, nor a release of stored light. It grows not only on decomposing trees, but also on soil and rocks. This mushroom's fungal filaments are capable of stabilizing and concentrating pure Hocotatium 111. It is none other than the Hocotatium 111 approaching the point of critical mass that causes the glowcap's blue luminescence.”
Louie's notes
“Rapturous fresh or sauteed, this illuminating fungus will be hot in the galaxy's trendiest restaurants.”
