They are prevalent in Mondstadt, Springvale, and Dawn Winery, located on house walls and under eaves.
WHO USES THEM?
Barbara, Klee and Mona all use Philanemo Mushrooms for their Ascensions, for a total of 168 required (Level 1 to 90).
BEST FARMING TEAM COMPS
Each Character comes with a variety of Skills that adds to the team. Utilizing Passive Talents and Elemental Resonances can significantly ease your grinding process, so it's beneficial to leverage these features and craft team compositions that simplify your tasks. (Note that same passive talents effects Do Not Stack).
Here are some examples:
TALENT RESOURCES
Mika’s "Demarcation" and Klee’s “All Of My Treasures” Utility Passive, display resources unique to Mondstadt on the game's mini-map, which are necessary for character ascension and talent materials.
The passive Talent, when visualized in the mini-map, looks like as a small hand icon which symbolizes the presence of a harvestable material nearby.
Other great candidate Talents for team composition are:

Unfortunately, this item cannot be farmed in the teapot as of now.
MONDSTADT CITY
(0 - 27)
Starting from the Cathedral area Waypoint, make a loop that travels south first and then east, to circle back up and turn back west towards the starting point. In this route, you never have to leave the city to harvest them.
Since several of this Mushrooms will be on windmills or tall walls, you can make a great use of Nahida, if you have her, as it will save you a lot of climbing up. There are 28 Philanemo just in Mondstadt City!
SPRINGVALE
(28 - 46)
Begin from the Waypoint and travel east towards a group of houses, before coming back up and fold west. Once you find more homes, head south to the last ones and you are done. This path will grant you 18 Philanemo Mushrooms.
DAWN WINERY
(47 - 53)
This last patch is a smaller one, containing only 7 Philanemo. Teleport to the Statue of the Seven in the area and start traveling South west, visiting all the houses to pick up your items.

And Babak’s shop in Port Ormos which also sell 5 Philanemo Mushrooms every 3 days.
