Mushroom Lights

Exclusive to:
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%.

Mushlight

“Science makes it light up.”

–Wilson, when examining a Mushlight.

“Not as nice as a warm fire.”

–Willow, when examining a Mushlight.

“Is nice light. Soft.”

–Wolfgang, when examining a Mushlight.

“Abigail would have thought this was... pretty...”

–Wendy, when examining a Mushlight.

“THE ORGANIC IS SWITCHED ON”

–WX-78, when examining a Mushlight.

“Quite enthralling, no?”

–Wickerbottom, when examining a Mushlight.

“Soak in that all-natural light, Lucy.”

–Woodie, when examining a Mushlight.

“A rather pale light.”

–Maxwell, when examining a Mushlight.

“Tis a spötted spötlight!”

–Wigfrid, when examining a Mushlight.

“It's giving off a nice light.”

–Webber, when examining a Mushlight.

“I do like being able to see.”

–Warly, when examining a Mushlight.

“Glow friends! Hi!”

–Wormwood, when examining a Mushlight.

“How's it work without circuitry?”

–Winona, when examining a Mushlight.

–Wortox, when examining a Mushlight.

“Glowy!”

“My mom loves collecting odd lamps... I hope she's doing alright.”

–Walter, when examining a Mushlight.

“Light made without oil or matches never ceases to amaze me.”

–Wanda, when examining a Mushlight.

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.

Glowcap

“Blue is obviously the most scientific color.”

–Wilson, when examining a Glowcap.

“Pfft, well that was a bright idea.”

–Willow, when examining a Glowcap.

“Tall mushy-room make very pretty light!”

–Wolfgang, when examining a Glowcap.

“Such a sickly fungal glow...”

–Wendy, when examining a Glowcap.

“IT HAS SHOWN ME THE LIGHT”

–WX-78, when examining a Glowcap.

“Red and blue spores produce lovely reading light when combined.”

–Wickerbottom, when examining a Glowcap.

“It illuminates with all the colors of the wind.”

–Woodie, when examining a Glowcap.

“A light to repel the encroaching shadow.”

–Maxwell, when examining a Glowcap.

“Behold! It blazes bright!”

–Wigfrid, when examining a Glowcap.

“We love all the colors!”

–Webber, when examining a Glowcap.

“I like a nice pale blue, personally.”

–Warly, when examining a Glowcap.

“Oh! Colors pretty”

–Wormwood, when examining a Glowcap.

“It lights up, even without filament.”

–Winona, when examining a Glowcap.

“I quite like it when it's red!”

–Wortox, when examining a Glowcap.

“Oooh, pretty color!”

–Wurt, when examining a Glowcap.

“Nature is full of surprises.”

–Walter, when examining a Glowcap.

“Alright, glowing mushrooms I can appreciate.”

–Wanda, when examining a Glowcap.

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.
