TheWoWDBGood example of why you should not add quests like this. People don't read them and just kill the mushrooms without ghouls next to it. So you're forced to loot the small mushrooms on the edges of the area.

Everything about this daily plain sucks. The arbitrarly high mushroom requirement, the fact that the mushrooms can only seemingly spawn in few spots and that other players can steal them from you makes this my top 5 least favourite quests in the game.
You can also collect the Gloom Sporelings that spawns around the area. Screenshot submitted. Gives 1-2 [item=183139] and respawns pretty fast on several locations along buildings and structure parts.

Description
Just as I was making progress on our alternative defense research, my spore samples ran dry! The mushrooms I was using can only be found in a particularly unpleasant location to the southeast. To collect an appropriately sized sample, you'll have to--how do I put this--feed them. Don't ask me why, but apparently, they mature fastest with a nice, rotting corpse nearby. Try luring a few undead to our fungal friends. That should give 'em all the nutrients they need to grow big and strong.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
