The Truffle NPC isn't moving in because your artificial "Glowing Mushroom Biome" isn't quite right: it needs to be surface-level (above elevation 0), have at least 100 mushroom grass/blocks, be far from Corruption/Crimson, and have a valid, vacant house with a table, chair, and light source, all while you're in Hardmode after defeating the Wall of Flesh.
