Glowing Mushroom

Glowing Mushrooms can be found on blue grass, in deeper parts of the Underground. They emit their own light, making them quite easy to find. Sometimes it can be generated underwater. If there is room, large tree-like glowing mushrooms called Mushroom Trees will spawn amongst the small ones. These can be harvested with an axe to yield many Glowing Mushrooms.

Harvesting these mushrooms has a 50% chance of dropping a Glowing Mushroom. It may also yield Mushroom Grass Seeds, which can be planted in mud below sea level to create a new Glowing Mushroom farm. Like most growing things in Terraria, Glowing Mushrooms start off as half-grown, looking almost cocoon-like. These immature specimens will not yield mushrooms when harvested, therefore, farms must be tended carefully in order to reap the maximum benefit.

Glowing Mushrooms themselves heal 25 points of damage on consumption, however, it is often wiser to use them in crafting more efficient Healing Potions.
