Do alchemy plants spawn in fixed or random locations ?

As per the title, which is it ? I know some things spawn in fixed locations, but I'm not sure about alchemy plants.

The spawn places are fixed. The alchemy plant that spawns in the node will vary.

Right, also (mostly) flowers, mushrooms, and water plants have specific nodes they share. So if you find an imp stool and come back it might be a stinkhorn or a Namira's rot next time, but never a blessed thistle or a columbine, which share a different set of nodes.

Thanks to both of you, that makes sense. So if I see a mushroom node on the map, it could be any of them.

I'm trying to find more violet coprinus, but it's elusive. I have enough for now, but unfortunately, some of the alchemy writs require 3 of them, so eventually I'd run out if I didn't try to find more.

I do alchemy writs that require violet coprinus on multiple toons but I get some back randomly in the rewards containers for the daily, so I have never run out.
