Laura Weishaupt Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 That is really interesting! It's probably from the same wood-rotting fungus that creates Michael's foxfire Michael was referring to a lichen, not fungi per se. (yes, yes, I know that lichens are a symbiosis of algae and fungi, so don't anyone hit me with wet noodles ;)) There are many species of bioluminescent fungi, and the mycelium will have that quality also. That would account for glowing rotting logs. Any of it would make for interesting landscape photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
