-The Glowcap Family contains various underground species of plants.
+{{game icons|p=y|p2=y|p3=y}}
+The '''glowcap family''' is a family of [[fungi]] found in the four main [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], as well as ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. Both variants shed light and are found only [[cave|underground]]. In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', they are only cosmetic, like most [[plants]]. However, in ''Pikmin 3'', the [[Common Glowcap]] can be used as shelter from the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] and can be used for light. This type of glowcap is also used in ''Pikmin Adventure'' to briefly light up cave sections, which is what happens when touched.

+Scientific name: ''Fungi luminarium''
-==Common Glowcap==
+Common Glowcaps resemble common mushrooms, and their glow is always of a pale blue; this is due, according to [[Olimar's notes]], to a radioactive isotope known to [[Hocotate|Hocotatians]] as "Hocotatium 111".
-The [[Common Glowcap]] is only found in underground levels. They let out an ominous glow in various colors such as blue and green. They are mainly used as scenery.

-==Glowstem==
+Rather than actual fungi, Glowstems are LEDs (light emitting diodes) with either a green or orange light. If touched, the light will flicker for a moment, and then return to normal. They are found in caves with metallic scenery.
-[[Glowstem]]s, like the Common Glowcaps, are only found underground and mainly used as scenery. They glow green and orange. If touched, the Glowstems will flicker for a moment, and then return to normal. Interestingly, Glowstems are not actual plants, rather they are LEDs; (Light-emitting diodes).
