(Biome) bioluminescent underground mushroom isle/swamplands

Like emeralds only generating in mountain biomes this would be specific to mushroom isles or swamps, a specific larger cave system that would generate with mycelium and would have bioluminescent mushroom blocks and perhaps even structures made with mushroom blocks. Like houses The glowing mushrooms found there would be specific to below y level 30/40 or so, they could function similar to the way sea cucumbers work now as a toggleable light level but can only grow on mycelium or bone blocks. This gives a unique use for the bone block and keeps with a decaying theme, perhaps the glowing mushrooms can be fed to a standard cow to turn it into a mooshroom. Some other mobs that could be added to spawn in this biome are passive snails similar in size to endermites and silverfish but these can crawl on vertically, to control where the mobs can and cannot crawl would be by using specific blocks like glass or glazed terracotta. The snails would be passive and only become hostile to players that attack them like pigmen or if the player has glowing mushrooms in thier inventory. This would add to the fun of digging and mining, give players another reason to go underground and offer some creative uses for things currently in the game. Yes there are a lot of ideas in this but a biome should be diverse

    Yea, exactly, underground biomes where light is important. As it stands currently we are limited on light emitting blocks,

    Pickles, sea lanterns, torches, redstone torch, glowstone, end rods, jack o lanterns for stand alone blocks, redstone lamps take up a 2 block space and require redstone torches or levers or other block to power it.

    I would love to see this, even if they overhaul the already existing mushroom island by adding it to the caves in that biome.

    Mushroom shelves could be cool

    Cool idea, but these new mushrooms can grow on the surface as well, but only in rare locations or somewhere sheltered, also some enchanted biomes we need of and they can spawn in there too, also a variant of Mooshrooms with glowing mushrooms on then, the colours of these mushrooms comes in blue, green, turquoise, purple and so on, so yeah
