biolumenescent fungi in alabama?
    #21916218 - 07/08/15 06:14 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Last night i was camping with some friends and i found a stick that was glowing in the dark. I peeled the bark of the stick and underneath was literally like a glow stick. I tried taking pictures but my phone camera just wouldn't register it. I kept the stick and can probably find more of this mystery mycelium. I was wondering if there has ever been a biolumenescent fungi ever found in north alabama.

While I have to agree with Michael Kuo from MushroomExpert.com and am suspicious it's a myth... Ompholatus species (Jack-o-Lantern mushrooms) are bioluminescent and can frequent Alabama... There's lots of time-lapse photos, credible witnesses, & rich history proving it glows, but i havent seen it personally... I've seen lots of Omphalotus species and maturities too damnit.

Im not sure thats what made your glow stick, but there are bioluminescent fungi, insects, algae all over the south.

Very cool! Thank you for your reply. I've found jack o lantern mushrooms at this spot before so i guess that's definitely a possible suspect.

I've read that the mycelium of Armillaria mellea (honey mushroom) is a common cause of this phenomena.

Omphalotus species do definitely glow in the dark. In my experience they loose the glow when they mature, so you want to get them when they are moderately young in order to view it. And it only glows from the gills, unlike Panellus stipticus which glows all over including mycelium.

You may have seen any of a number of bioluminescent fungi. You may have found P.stipticus which likes to grow on twigs and small logs. Look for small oyster looking mushrooms on other sticks in the area.

I went back to the spot last night to find more of it and the place is freaking loaded with it. It was like avatars in those woods last night.
