Glowing Mushroom

Don´t eat them, from my experience with the Homer Simpsons cartoon series, this may be an indication they are highly radioactive. :grinning:

Nice idea, and the green self illumination is by far more realistic than the horrible blue/purple self illuminated colorscheme in Avatar, which I wasn´t fond of.

We do not have the same insects over here in Sweden, as those fireflies in the United states, Ivé seen maybe two Lampyris noctiluca I think it was on the grass in a forrest shining with constant light with this color in the night, some chemical reaction together with oxygen I think.

Did you use some Lightsources inside or plain surface emission?
I think if you had a little more white brigtness in the center of that green glow, it would have given the image a bit of a more punch, just very subtle.

Thanks, never eat anything that is glowing is probably a good rule. We have fireflies here, it’s kind of magic to walk out on a warm summer’s night and watch the flashes of green light

The light was a plain surface emission. The white brightness is a good idea, I’ll try it out thanks.

Some have acess to a certain kind of nature magic, over here in Sweden we do not have that in the same way, so I am a bit envious of such rich nature.

In my 56 year old life, I can count the amount of spotted Lampyris Noctiluca on my right hand, and that by accident walking out a small path inbetween the woods nearby a lake on a late summernight, and I just noticed a green light in the dark forrest, strange though that I could notice it since I was so far away from it, and it was shining with a constant light, not any flasher here :slight_smile:

That´s the only bug I think we have over here that is self glowing.
