A newly identified luminescent fungus called Mycena luxaeterna was

discovered in a forest in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The mushroom caps are tiny,

under a half inch (8 mm) in diameter and the stems have a jelly-like

structure. The glow is easier to observe at night (right).

Discovered on the bark of a standing tree in Borneo, Malaysia, this new

glow-in-the-dark mushroom called Mycena silvaelucens emits a

yellowish-green light throughout the day, though it's easier to see at

night (right). Credit: Brian Perry, University of Hawaii

Foxfire

Foxfire is the term for the bioluminescence created in the right conditions by a few species of fungi that decay wood.The luminescence is often attributed to members

of the genus Armillaria, the Honey mushroom, though others are reported, and as many as 71 individual species have been identified.

Armillaria mellea Armillaria hinnulea

Wikipedia > On the suggestion of 

Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) foxfire was

used for light in the Turtle, an early submarine.

Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Gosport, UK

In the novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain,

the characters of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer use foxfire

as a source of light in order to dig a tunnel.

Wikipedia > In English, "Lucifer" generally refers to Satan.

Lucifer (Le génie du mal) 

by Guillaume Geefs 

(Cathedral of St. Paul,

Liège, Belgium)

The use of the name "Lucifer" in reference to a fallen angel.  

Satan, who in 

Milton's Paradise Lost is

also called Lucifer, 

on his way to bring about

the downfall of Adam.

lines 739-742 by John Milton.

The same Latin word lucifer is used to refer to

the Morning Star, with no relation to the devil.

Venus is always brighter than the brightest star

Angler Fish

Although most marine organisms do NOT use bacteria

to make their light, the anglerfish is an exception.

It, about 4 cm long, cultures a glowing community

inside its retractable lure (called an esca).

Loose-Jawed fish (Aristostomias grimaldii)

This 5 inch (13 cm) fish is found in the

Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

It has large and sharp teeth.

Pachystomias microdon: A species of dragonfish with highly unus

red-sensitive eyes, give this species a "sniperscope"

Bioluminescence is a form of luminescence, or

‘cold light’ emission; less than 20% of the light

generates thermal radiation.

In the midwater zone (100-1000 meters deep), it has

been estimated that 90% of the fish & crustacean

species are capable of making light, and

the numbers of jellies even higher.

There are no luminous "flowering" plants, birds,

reptiles, amphibians or mammals.

Luminescence (การืเปล่�งแสิ่ง)

Light emitted at low temperatures

Caused by (1) chemical reactions (2) electrical energy (3) subatomic motions (4) stress on a crystal

Incandescence (การเปล่�งแสุงจากวิ�ตถุ�ร)อนำ) < at high temperatures >

The dials, hands, scales & signs of aviation & navigational instruments & markings are often coated with luminescent materials, in a process known as luminising.

Chemiluminescence (การืเปล่�งแสิ่งทำางเคมี�)

Fluorescence (การืวิาวิแสิ่ง , ฟล่�ออเรืสิ่เซนซ!) Excitation – being hit by light

of particular wavelengths Not stable

Emission – nearly immediately re-emitted in the form of a longer wavelength photon

Phosphorescence (การืเรื�องแสิ่ง) In the past, used as synonym

for bioluminescence Excited state somewhat stable Emission – re-emitted the

energy gradually over time, resulting in a dim steady glow
