The first clue about the nightshade fungus comes from Presto, a druid in the Skara Brae apothecary; he directs you to the pub in Vesper, then the companions are directed to Virgil, a mage in Trinsic.

All the thread can be followed by moongates: start in Skara Brae, take the moongate to Minoc and visit Vesper, then the Minoc moongate to Trinsic, and you are already rather close to the coordinates of the fungus.
