Bioluminescence In West Cork :)


As well as amazing plankton bioluminescence in the bay, we also have bioluminescent glowing mushrooms in the oak and pine woods here, which I've seen occasionally, while sleeping wild on bushcraft courses - tiny delicate glowing lights 🙂

Not sure if these guys glow, but shows how damp and rainforest-esce it's been lately, these have started sprouting in the paddle store!
