Sometimes, forests turn neon green because of special tiny creatures inside the leaves. Imagine if your bedroom had tiny glowing bugs, that’s kind of what happens in some trees at night. The glow comes from little organisms called bioluminescent fungi, which are like tiny lights in the tree bark. When it gets dark, these little lights can make the whole forest look like a dreamy green glow.
Examples
- Tiny glowing bugs inside trees light up the entire woods when it’s dark.
- You see a whole tree sparkle with little blue-green lights during a walk in the rain.
