• "The phenomenon of luminescent fungus occurs between late May to July in the forests of the island Mesameyama in Ugui in Wakayama Prefecture, but copies have been found in coastal areas south of the Kii peninsula in Kyushu and other regions." *plans next holiday* Thanks homunculus!
• Take pictures, gomi! Way cool. Funky lights without even having to eat the mushrooms.
• I totally expected to see some Smurfs inside those things.
• Any summer night hike in the Appalachians is likely to turn up some foxfire.
• Lovely. It's all going on in nature, eh?
• Bioluminescent plankton has always been one of my favorite displays of nature... swimming in the ocean deep into the night, paving a glowing swath of current underneath as my arms and legs cut through the water... aaahhh! And then, we have these shrooms. Voila! Magnificient... Milky Seas from Space
• I want some in my beef curry.
• Might go better with pork.
• Glow-in-the-dark mushrooms rediscovered after 170 years
