I am in total wonder of these glow-in-the-dark mushrooms--and best of all, they are found outside of Amsterdam, in Japan!

Of course, the biological description is that they are a bioluminescent fungi. Thanks to an enzyme-aided chemical reaction, these 'shrooms emit a greenish light. I love the biology but more to the point, these are mushrooms that glow in the dark.

Why should you take one of these to a party? As they are a fun guy, of course! (I’ll go now.)
