Brazil – Dozens of bioluminescent mushrooms sprout on a dead log, green stems glowing in the light of a full moon. This species – Mycena lucentipes – grows on the wood of flowering trees in the rain forests of Brazil and Puerto Rico. Its edibility is unknown.

I wonder if you could design some kind of habitat for these to turn into a nightlight. They are very pretty!

I’d say so. Fungi are some of the few things you can grow indoors without a grow lamp. Most homes are a lot darker, especially in terms of UV waves that green plants need than most people think they are.

You can try growing some. However some fungi are picky about where they grow.
