Do mushrooms really glow in the dark?
Yes, they do! Some forests around the world light up thanks to bioluminescent fungi. These glowing mushrooms emit light through a chemical reaction called bioluminescence, much like fireflies. Found in tropical regions and even parts of the U.S., certain species like Mycena chlorophos create an eerie, greenish glow that helps attract insects, which then spread their spores. It’s nature’s very own light show!
