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.

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. | 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.
