The glow from these mushrooms is called Foxfire or Fairy Fire. Ghost mushrooms were often mistaken as a mystical fire or a ghastly ghost when seen in the forest at night. Aristotle once described these mushrooms as being like a cold fire because of how bright they glow. Ghost mushrooms can emit green, blue, and/or yellow light. Ghost mushrooms can be found in forests throughout North America, Australia, and Asia. Please don’t eat them—they’ll make you sick. Message us with any questions, comment
