📋 About This Mod
Modified meshes from Blackreach Tentacle Mesh Fix, High Poly Blackreach Mushrooms and Subdivide and Smooth - Vines with a stronger glow and some variation in color. I chose colors that still worked with the original aesthetics, and didn't mismatch with any lights placed on them.
Each shroom, excluding the giant "epic" shroom and small harvestable shroom, comes in two variations: one more green, and one more blue. Base Object Swapper decides which is which. Swaps are persistent.
Without BOS, they will all be the more blue variant.
Compatible with retextures. These changes are defined in the models.
No particle lights or other such effects are used. It all works with the vanilla lighting.
Covers:
-
[]All glowing Blackreach mushrooms.

]All glowing mushrooms in Darkfall Passage.[]Random glowing mushrooms in some dungeons.
[](These are all the same assets.)
[]Floor vines.
[]Harvestable shrooms & ingredient item.
[]Blackreach Shroom Beetles & associated loot.
[]Blackreach frogs.
I find all this glowy stuff looks best with Rally's Blackreach Mushrooms, and against darker caverns. I thought the contrast of near pitch black and bright funky colors was an interesting look.
Anything that mixes up the Blackreach flora goes a long way, too.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1.4M downloads and 549 endorsements.
- Simple visual upgrade that makes Blackreach pop without changing gameplay.
- Color variation via Base Object Swapper keeps things fresh.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Base Object Swapper, so you need to grab that dependency first.
- Only affects Blackreach mushrooms and tentacles—don't expect changes elsewhere.
- No screenshots or detailed install notes in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and enabled before adding this mod, or the color variation won't work.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle the file placement—it's easier and keeps your load order clean.
- Load this mod after other texture overhauls that touch Blackreach to ensure it takes priority.
