Where to find Glowing Mushrooms in Fallout 76
When it comes to Appalachian vegetation, it can sometimes be quite difficult to spot. Wildflowers, vegetables, and fruits are everywhere, but not all of them can be eaten. Luckily, Glowing Fungus is one of the easiest plants to spot in the game thanks to its bright green color. It is also very abundant, so it is easy to access almost any server you enter.
