Post-generation
Both crimson and warped huge fungi can generate shroomlights near their tops. This includes both naturally generated huge fungi and huge fungi grown with bone meal.
Usage
Light source
Shroomlights provide a light level of 15, the highest level in the game. Unlike Glowstone, Shroomlights also allows redstone signals to pass through them, as they are treated like a solid block.
Composting
Placing a shroomlight into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level.
