After a hard day's work moving dirt and gravel on the adjoining twenty acres recently purchased by family, a discovery was made. As our brother Colin was tending a stump fire, he uncovered what appeared at first to be a glow stick. Upon further investigation, an entire log in the undergrowth was covered in this bioluminescent fungi. Thanks to the internet we learned it is called Foxfire or Fairy Fire.

Have you ever come across this wonder of nature?
