Mycena chlorophos (seen in daylight, top, and in the
dark) is the oldest known glowing fungi, identified in the 1800s in
Japan's Bonin Islands.

Found just once in southern Brazil, the glowing Mycena
abieticola mushroom (seen above in daylight, top, and at
night) had previously been identified in Mexico where it grows
on fir trees.

The mushroom Mycena silvaelucens, whose Latin name
means "forest light," (pictured, in daylight, top, and at night)
was discovered on the grounds of an orangutan rehabilitation center
in the Malaysian section of the South Pacific island of Borneo.

Glowing nonstop in the Brazillian rain forest, the
newfound mushroom Mycena luxaeterna (pictured both in
daylight, top, and in the dark) is indeed a source of eternal
light, as its Latin name--inspired by verses from Mozart's
"Requiem"--implies.
