I had seen glowing twigs when I was studying 12th. One of my friends had brought me one sample twig and had told me that such glowing twigs are found all around his home during monsoon. His home is amidst thick forest. I had kept the twig with me for about a week at my home and due to lack of humidity the glow diminished and ultimately the twig got its moksha in the dust bin! All this had happened around 14 years back and it was a closed chapter in my life until recently I recollected the whole episode. That made me to start search for the glow which litters the forest floor in the Western Ghats.
Incidentally Sriharsha was also thinking about the same in parallel and during a normal conversation we happened to know that we both of us are looking for the same thing - Glowing Fungi!
Then happened the cycle of searches and enquiries and finally we managed to find them and more importantly shoot them.
Shooting was a huge challenge as the conditions were not favorable.
Our experiences and the results are now shared on Landscape Wizards - "Luminous Landscapes".
Don't miss to watch the video of our experience and the wonderful GIF by Sriharsha is just an icing on the cake.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers,
Ash

This is how it looks during the day!
Absolutely no clue as to it would glow so beautifully in dark!
