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 awoken, which can be used in the [[leader]]s' favor.

In {{p1}} and {{p2}}, 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 rock]]s to fall upon contact with it.


In {{p3}}, these plants are initially found buried in the ground with only the tops showing; they do not give light in this state. Physical contact with them will make them rise out and illuminate 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 of Common Glowcap exist: cyan and pink. They can also have different sizes. Their color matches the color of the light they produce, but nothing else.

:''"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."''

The '''Common Glowcap''' is a glowing fungus that appears in ''[[Pikmin: Wide World]]''. Some Common Glowcaps are initially found shrunken into the ground, identifiable only as a small glowing bump, and upon being closely approached by anything, it will suddenly spring from the ground, shining soft light down in a cone shape from its cap. Many are already found in their active state, however. The light cast by a Common Glowcap matches its color. [[Leader]]s and [[Pikmin]] hiding in this light will be sheltered from [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]s, [[Emberglow Phosbat]]s, [[Vampire Bulbear]]s, and [[Dwarf Vampire Bulbear]]s, and any [[Phosbat|Phosbat Nymph]]s that enter this light will be harmed over time so long as they remain in it. Once activated, a Common Glowcap will not return to its initial state. Bumping into a Common Glowcap will cause it to wobble slightly and release some harmless glowing [[spore]]s. The Common Glowcap's enormous, transportable relative is the [[Colossal Glowcap]]. [[Bioluminescent Puffstool|Brilliant Glowstalk]]s somewhat resemble massive Common Glowcaps.

The Common Glowcap is a luminescent fungus. In Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2, they are used as scenery, and in Pikmin Adventure, leaders that touch them temporarily glow.

In Pikmin 3, Common Glowcaps are either cyan or pink and of different sizes. Initially immersed in the ground with only the tops showing, touching them causes them to rise and illuminate a small area around them. The light from these plants can damage and kill Phosbats, as well as provide shelter from the Vehemoth Phosbat.

Notes

Olimar's observations

You would think that this illuminated mushroom would help provide some light in dark caverns, but it really doesn't help. I wonder why that is...

Cookin' with Louie

Rapturous fresh or sauteed, this illuminating fungus will be hot in the galaxy's trendiest restaurants.

The Common Glowcap is a glowing fungus that appears in Pikmin: Wide World. Some Common Glowcaps are initially found shrunken into the ground, identifiable only as a small glowing bump, and upon being closely approached by anything, it will suddenly spring from the ground, shining soft light down in a cone shape from its cap. Many are already found in their active state, however. The light cast by a Common Glowcap matches its color. Leaders and Pikmin hiding in this light will be sheltered from Vehemoth Phosbats, Emberglow Phosbats, Vampire Bulbears, and Dwarf Vampire Bulbears, and any Phosbat Nymphs that enter this light will be harmed over time so long as they remain in it. Once activated, a Common Glowcap will not return to its initial state. Bumping into a Common Glowcap will cause it to wobble slightly and release some harmless glowing spores. The Common Glowcap's enormous, transportable relative is the Colossal Glowcap. Brilliant Glowstalks somewhat resemble massive Common Glowcaps.

Common Glowcaps, after they emerge from the ground, have a tall, slender stem, and a cap that curves and then tapers to a rounded tip. Usually, each Common Glowcap has smaller Common Glowcaps around its base that sprout when it does. Common Glowcaps can be of a wide array of vibrant colors, such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, and even white.

Notes

Olimar's notes

The Hocotatium 111 within this plant gives it its wide range of brilliant hues, which seems to span almost the entire color spectrum, including the color white. For unknown reasons, some common glowcaps only fully sprout when subject to vibrations, while others can sprout on their own. Until they do, they remain buried in the ground with only the tip of their cap visible.

Shacho's notes

I'm sure if we could bring one of these mushrooms back to Hocotate, they would make wonderful street lamps! It would net me at least a few Pokos, right?

Marie's notes

You can't tame a fungus. At least, not this kind. They are very pretty, though. Honestly, I wouldn't mind having a color-changing lamp of one of these for my room when I get back to Hocotate.

Louie's notes

In a dark room, this ingredient gives off an appealing and welcoming glow. Works well by itself as a colorful appetizer!

Dolphin Lander's notes

I am in love with these fungi! I wish Olimar would have retrieved a sample to place in a pot to grow. Imagine being in possession of every color of common glowcap...
