Bioluminescent Fungi Glow to Attract Insects
Certain mushrooms in tropical forests emit a steady green light from their gills at night. The glow draws beetles and flies that then carry spores to new locations, helping the fungi spread. This natural lantern works without any external energy source.
๐ก Fun detail:
The light rhythm follows a daily clock, growing brightest around midnight when insect activity peaks.
