Try again and if it does not work reload an old savegame.

and btw in another walkthrough i read for this quest it sayed the location for the cavern for this mushroom is in the mushroom forest ????

There are several mushrooms in this part of the game.
But the yellow bafflimiri mushroom for the alchemist is in the dead forest.
