Best small caves for glowing mushrooms?

[Tavman (4)]

Quick question, what are the best small dungeons/caves that contain glowing mushrooms? I am looking for ones that are single zone and have few enemies.

The wiki is good source for info like this.

There are at least fifteen near the exit for Bleak Falls Barrow.

Shimmermist Cave contains at least forty.

Tolvald's Cave contains hundreds, with a full clear resulting in a yield of at least two-hundred.

There are multiple in Greenwall Cave.

Honningbrew Meadery's basement contains around fifty or more (one will have to have access to the basement key – this can be easily obtained in the quest "Dampened Spirits").

A couple dozen in a small cavern part of the Mzulft Boilery.

About a dozen in a skeever-infested cave within Forelhost Crypt.

At least fifty-six in Lost Echo Cave. At least sixteen of these are in the empty outer chamber and so can be gathered without risk.


Chillwind Depths contains at least twenty-five.

Many on the walls in the depths of Dwemer Ruins.

Now which of those are (and I mentioned this specifically)

* Single zone
* Few enemies

I only see one of those as potentially being suitable. Can confirm that place has the requirements I need?

Again you can check the wiki...

Shimmermist Cave
Lost Echo Cave
Chillwind Depths

are the best three for what you describe, each one contains Falmer.

But seriously check the wiki they give a description of each place, see if they are suitable for whatever it is you're doing. I’m not really interested in going to each location to check.
