How do you get life fruit before defeating mechanical boss?

To get Life Fruit before defeating a mechanical boss, you can use the Clentaminator with Dark Blue Solution, which will break the Life Fruit and leave them on the ground, illuminated by the glowing mushroom for the player to see, or you can search for them in the Underground Jungle after defeating a single mechanical boss, as Life Fruit can be found prior to defeating a mechanical boss, just in much smaller numbers.
