Mushrooms are such fascinating organisms with so many fantastic qualities and uses.
But did you know that they can also glow in the dark?
Singapore is home to a wide variety of bioluminescentfungi.
Still, macro photographerNicky Bayhas managed to capture an entire series of photos featuring the rare glowing fungi.
My first encounter was surreal, despite seeing just a few solitary mushrooms, Bay tells My Modern Met.
The mushrooms typically wilt completely within two or three days, depending on the weather.
Hence, getting the opportunity to photograph a large cluster in its best condition is considerably rare and exciting.
Of the over 148,000 known species of fungi, just around 70 are known to exhibit bioluminescence.
So, Bay isnt kidding when he says that kind of experience is pretty rare.
Scroll down to see some of Bays incredible images of bioluminescent mushrooms in Singapore.
