In Pikmin: Wide World
The Common Glowcap is a glowing fungus that appears in Pikmin: Wide World. Some Common Glowcaps are initially found shrunken into the ground, identifiable only as a small glowing bump, and upon being closely approached by anything, it will suddenly spring from the ground, shining soft light down in a cone shape from its cap. Many are already found in their active state, however. The light cast by a Common Glowcap matches its color. Leaders and Pikmin hiding in this light will be sheltered from Vehemoth Phosbats, Emberglow Phosbats, Vampire Bulbears, and Dwarf Vampire Bulbears, and any Phosbat Nymphs that enter this light will be harmed over time so long as they remain in it. Once activated, a Common Glowcap will not return to its initial state. Bumping into a Common Glowcap will cause it to wobble slightly and release some harmless glowing spores. The Common Glowcap's enormous, transportable relative is the Colossal Glowcap. Brilliant Glowstalks somewhat resemble massive Common Glowcaps.

Common Glowcaps, after they emerge from the ground, have a tall, slender stem, and a cap that curves and then tapers to a rounded tip. Usually, each Common Glowcap has smaller Common Glowcaps around its base that sprout when it does. Common Glowcaps can be of a wide array of vibrant colors, such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, and even white.
