mothernaturenetwork: Glow-in-the-dark mushroom rediscovered after 170 yearsSpotted once in 1840 and then never seen again, one of the world’s most bioluminescent mushrooms has been rediscovered deep in the Brazilian wilderness. When we first moved to our property, we found fallen logs that were glowing in the dark. The inside of the log is what was glowing, so there must have been some type of bioluminescent fungi or something. I haven’t seen it again, in the 16 years I’ve lived here….

Glow-in-the-dark mushroom rediscovered after 170 years
Spotted once in 1840 and then never seen again, one of the world’s most bioluminescent mushrooms has been rediscovered deep in the Brazilian wilderness.

When we first moved to our property, we found fallen logs that were glowing in the dark. The inside of the log is what was glowing, so there must have been some type of bioluminescent fungi or something. 

I haven’t seen it again, in the 16 years I’ve lived here….
