The '''Common Glowcap''' is a luminescent [[Wikipedia:mushroom|mushroom]] and is used as scenery in [[The Forest Navel]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|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 Rock]]s to fall upon contact with it. It does, however, affect gameplay in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and lights up dark areas when it makes contact with anything.

==Pikmin Adventure==
In the Nintendo Land attraction [[Pikmin Adventure]], Common Glowcaps are referred to by Monita as '''Glowing Mushrooms'''. In this game, they serve a very useful purpose, and grant illumination around a player who makes contact with it. This comes in handy in dark cave levels.
 
==Pikmin 3==
Common Glowcaps appear in ''Pikmin 3'', and are used to light up dark areas (much like Nintendo Land's Pikmin Adventure attraction). They appear as tiny "buds" on the cave floor until a Pikmin hits them, or a player walks over them. When this happens, they will pop up out of the ground as a fully-grown glowcap and illuminate the area.

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 in these two games, the Glowcap does not change gameplay at all. It does, however, affect gameplay in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin Adventure, and lights up dark areas when you make contact with it. In Pikmin Adventure, when players touch the glowcaps (referred to as Clowing Mushrooms in this game) they light up a large area around the player. In Pikmin 3, Common Glowcaps start out as small buds, and when touched, expand into full glowcaps, which light ujp an area around it. There are two variations of glowcaps seen in Pikmin 3, one being the standard blue, the other being pink.

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."
