During the rainy season in some of the Japanese forests is possible to see strange, luminescent fungi growing on the trunk of trees. Through a chemical reaction produced by an enzyme, these fungi emit a light that shines on a greenish tone.
The reason for the phenomenon of still bioluminescent fungi has not been scientifically explained, but is believed to be a response to the need for survival: the shining attracts insects that help to disperse spores in an environment where the dispersal of wind is very limited.
