What plants glow at night?

Fluorescent mushroom is a very rare plant, also called ant street lamp, and it is one of the most mysterious species in Taiwan Province Province. In the dark, it will glow like a dark green jack-o'-lantern. The phosphorus fire in the cemetery at night is also this faint, unreal and really bright green color, so someone finds this strange green light in the Woods at night and regards it as a jack-o'-lantern.

Fluorescent mushrooms should grow in a messy bamboo forest, with no pesticides and no one to clean them up. It lasts for 7 days with high humidity.

Luminous principle of fluorescent mushrooms;

The luminescent substances of mushrooms are completely different from those of fireflies. In the past, people never knew exactly which type of fluorescein/luciferase system caused mushrooms to fluoresce. Scientists from Krasnoyarsk, Russia, Moscow and Nagoya, Japan finally solved this mystery, and made this breakthrough when studying a series of hot extracts of non-fluorescent mushrooms.

It is found that some hot extracts of mushrooms can emit light once they are mixed with cold extracts of fluorescent mushrooms, because these hot extracts contain fluorescein precursors and cold extracts contain luciferase. Because luciferase is not expressed, the luciferase precursor of non-fluorescent mushrooms is not consumed, and its content is more than 100 times that of fluorescent mushrooms.
