Like a black light poster come to life, a group of bioluminescent fungi collected from Ribeira Valley Tourist State Park near S?o Paulo, Brazil, emanates a soft green glow when the lights go out.
The mushrooms are part of the genus Mycena, a group that includes about 500 species worldwide. Of these only 33 are known to be bioluminescent?capable of producing light through a chemical reaction. - natgeo
