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. The mushrooms themselves heal 25 points of damage on consumption. They are used in making Healing Potion and Mana Potion.

Harvesting Glowing 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. Cutting these immature Mushrooms will not yield a Glowing Mushroom 100% of the time, as it did in previous versions. Couple this with the slower rate of grass growth and it becomes clear that Glowing Mushroom farms are going to have a lower yield than they did previously, and must be tended more carefully in order to reap the maximum benefit.
