[32] Using blacklights makes these things glow brightly, common at raves, bedrooms, theme parks, and ...
The physiological and ecological function of fungal bioluminescence has not been established with certainty. It has been suggested that in the dark beneath closed tropical forest canopies, bioluminescent fruit bodies may be at an advantage by attracting grazing animals (including insects and other arthropods) that could help disperse their spores.
Foxfire in the fungus Panellus stipticus Blue ocean glow caused by myriad tiny organisms, such as Noctiluca. Noctiluca scintillans, a bioluminescent dinoflagellate. Bioluminescence is the production of light by living organisms. This list of bioluminescent organisms is organized by the environment, covering terrestrial, marine, and microorganisms.

Phosphorescent paint is commonly called "glow-in-the-dark" paint. It is made from phosphors such as silver-activated zinc sulfide or doped strontium aluminate, and typically glows a pale green to greenish-blue color. The mechanism for producing light is similar to that of fluorescent paint, but the emission of visible light persists long after ...
Many animals can glow in the dark. In a new study, scientists report that deep-sea corals that lived 540 million years ago may have been the first animals to glow, far earlier than previously thought.
It is suggested that many firefly larvae glow to repel predators; some millipedes glow for the same purpose. [59] Some marine organisms are believed to emit light for a similar reason. These include scale worms, jellyfish and brittle stars but further research is needed to fully establish the function of the luminescence.
Deep below the surface of the South China Sea, a glow-in-the-dark creature swam through shadowy waters. Suddenly, something enveloped the sea creature and pulled it upward.
