Fact or Fiction: Mushrooms Really Do Glow in the Dark!

If you just watched our Fact or Fiction video, then you already know Mushrooms glow!

Some mushrooms really do shine at night using a special power called bioluminescence. That means they make their own natural light the same type of glow you see in fireflies or some ocean creatures.
