Quest refers to the item as a Mushroom. The actual items in game are named as Mushshroom.

If this is true, then they fixed it. I was able to do the quest without any issues while the WQ was up.

Description

When we happened upon these poor souls, it was clear they were attacked by djaradin. The poison on those brutes' weapons is preventing me and their leader, Narvra, from healing them. I noticed peculiar mushrooms on some crystals nearby. I have seen their like before, and I may be able to fashion an antidote from them. Can you harvest some while Voraxian and I keep watch here?

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.
