bioluminescent
Stephen Axford’s Macro Lens Photography
This other-worldly view of fungi from New South Wales, Australia should not be missed. Axford’s work is 12 years in the making, and worth a look. Much of his work allows us to see structure and detail otherwise invisible. The images are jaw dropping, crisp and colorful. Some are even glow-in-the-dark. For more, visit the website below...
A Quirk of Fate (by Taylor Lockwood)
After taking my camera and passion for bioluminescent mushrooms around the world, I was pleased to find some "glowers" in my little town of Mount Dora, Florida. I had only seen them once before so an uncommon bloom of these "Jill o' Lanterns" (Omphalotus subilludens) got me right into gear.
These are the cousins to the "Jack o' Lanterns" (Omphalotus illudens) known up and down the east coast and into parts west. According to Jim Kimbrough's book on Florida mushrooms, it wasn't known to be bioluminescent.
I had found some two years ago and I did document the dim greenish glow and, I believe, they were the first such photos of O. subilludens.
