Thanks for looking into the issue and implementing an improvement :)

I agree. This is ridiculous & I am more than a little peeved. I am so sick of the rules getting changed for no reason. On my game the rate of finding glimmer dust has not increased making it nearly impossible to complete any of my buildings. Also, it now costs 15 gems per glimmer dust?! This is a ridiculous ploy to get me to spend more money on their apps. I thought the point of team lava's updates were to make the game better not worse!
Mushroom Patches and Mushroom Circles of all kinds. The increase doesn't apply to other things that may drop Glimmerdust, like Old Logs, Weeds, and the Magic Garden.
Now there is a solution being made, perhaps someone should merge all the glimmerdust threads - there are quite a few!!!
A push for the Glimmer Dust drop rates is now live. You should get them more often from all mushroom patches/circles. We also adjusted some gem costs on all blocks, beams, glues, pastes, and feasts. They were significantly cheaper then their material costs, and so they were raised to be a bit more in line with our intentions. They're still cheaper then their individual parts, just a little less now.
