Mushrooms Glow In The Dark
Posted in Various
With the arrival of Japan’s rainy season, a mysterious type of green, glow-in-the-dark mushroom begins to sprout in Wakayama prefecture. The Mycena lux-coeli mushrooms, known locally as shii no tomobishi-dake (literally, “chinquapin glow mushrooms”), sprout from fallen chinquapin trees. As they grow, a chemical reaction involving luciferin (a light-emitting pigment contained within the mushrooms) occurs, causing them to glow a ghostly green.

wonder what happens if you eat’em ^^
Most mushrooms are poisonous, you can die if you eat those mushrooms. I’ve seen people eat the wrong mushrooms, they look so similar and they died of excessive vomiting and external bleeding. If you are lucky, you can be transformed into Hulk-like lol :D
PLEASE DONT EAT THE MUSHROOMS,,,,,,UNLESS YOU WANT TO GLOW IN THE DARK,,,,GLOWING IN THE DARK IS NOT GOOOOOOD,,,,,,,,,,,
mushrooms are a strange form of life. some are deadly poisonous, some are delicious, some are delerius. i love them.
Cooooool, are they magical in any profound way?
From “Mushrooms Demystified” by David Arora: “out of several thousand different kinds of wild mushrooms in North America, only five or six are deadly poisonous”
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article o.us poetry, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
Do they recharge your batteries if you eat them I wonder?
Well, that’d make for some kick ass glow in the dark piss.
If these were the magic kind that would be awesome. And for they guy posting about how few are poisonous… all it takes is one dude, and your liver liquifies and you die a horribly painful death.
“From “Mushrooms Demystified” by David Arora: “out of several thousand different kinds of wild mushrooms in North America, only five or six are deadly poisonous””
Yea only 5 or 6 are poisonous those 5 or 6 are the most prominent, guess why, because nothing and nobody eats them.

“@Cardoso: Pandora? Tinha que ser no Japão. ”
“@Cardoso:Pandora? It had to be in Japan.”
Enfim, bem estranho isso. Até porque ninguém descartaria a opção de que um japonês cientista que não tinha como provar que não era nada pequeno e então jogou uma mistura de substâncias ‘legais’ no chão e não percebeu que tinha gogumelos… mas aí, se alguém realmente comeu isso, algo caiu no sangue e mudou o pigmento? Ou o que acontece?
Anyway, very strange that. Especially because no one rule out the option that a Japanese scientist who had no way to prove that there was nothing small and then threw a cool mixture on the ground and realized had no mushrooms … but then, if anyone actually ate it, something fell in the blood and changed the pigment? Or what happens?
Assuming the mushrooms are safe for consumption, nothing would happen. The compound responsible for the glowing would be destroyed by your digestive system. Not to mention the concentrations required to make a human glow would likely be toxic no matter how “safe” they were.
