TheWoWDBLambent Herb Nodes can be found in the Zaralek caverns. On gathering an herb node, you gain a buff called 'Zaralek Glowbur' that talks about spores wanting to propagate, extending its duration on further node gathers, but doesn't seem to have an effect currently.
Overloading a Lambent Herb Node spawns a mushroom man who runs off with a bunch of little balls flying off him. Running through these gives one Zaralek Glowspore. I missed about half of them due to a lava pool, and still managed to get 12 Glowspores. I presume that the Glowspur effect would cause these to spawn on regular herb gathers, but currently do nothing.
These Glowspores are used to create a replacement for the Altar of Decay(Much to the celebration of Alchemists), as well as a transmute to create Dracothyst, which is used in a variety of other crafts.

Apparently if you have the 'buffs' from both Lambent and Metamorphic nodes at the same time you get a container item holding about 10-20 Glowspores. So the descriptions for each were correct, just entirely too vague.
I have seen a video that you get a buff when you have both mining and herbalism and you are farming nodes and get the glow buff from each, then you can propagate spores and get morenthan farming.
