Mushroom Lights are Don't Starve Together exclusive objects, introduced in A New Reign. There are two types of Mushroom Lights, Mushlight and Glowcap. Their respective Blueprints can be found by killing a Toadstool or from opening a Loot Stash after killing a Klaus.

Both Mushlight and Glowcap have 4 slots. In these, players can place Light Bulbs, Glow Berries, Lesser Glow Berries, Mushroom Spores, Festive Lights, Crustashines or Enlightened Shards for the lights to function. The lights also act like an Ice Box and slow down the spoilage of the items put inside by 75%, extending the spoilage time by four times. Light Bulbs that spoil inside a mushroom light will drop as rot on the ground nearby. If an Enlightened Shard is placed in the Mushroom Lights, all perishable items in the inventory will not spoil, making it a great infinite light source. Festive Lights can also be used for infinite source of light, as they will still glow even when they reach 0%.

The Mushlight is a light source that can accept all items listed above except for Mushroom Spores. The light emitted by a Mushlight will always be white, regardless of the colors of Festive Lights and Enlightened Shards placed inside.

The more items placed inside, the bigger the light radius will be. However, one Enlightened Shard is enough to make a Mushlight to emit max level lights.

Pfft, well that was a bright idea.

The Glowcap is an advanced version of the Mushlight, having a more expensive recipe. Unlike the Mushlight, the Glowcap is able to accept Mushroom Spores. The players can customize its color by placing Mushroom Spores, Festive Lights and colored Enlightened Shards inside the Glowcap. Light Bulbs, Glow Berries, Crustashines and empty Enlightened Shards will produce white light.

By mixing multiple colors in a Glowcap, one can obtain different color tones besides of red, green, and blue:

  • Purple - 1 Red Spores, 3 Blue Spore
  • Pink - 3 Light Bulbs, 1 Red Spore
  • Yellow - 2 Red Spores, 2 Green Spores
  • Orange - 3 Red Spores, 1 Green Spore
  • White - 1 of each spore type, leaving 1 slot empty.
  • Cyan - 2 Blue Spores, 2 Green Spores

The more items placed inside, the bigger the light radius will be. However, one Enlightened Shard is enough to make a Glowcap to emit max level lights.
