Can mushrooms glow? Yes, such a magical scene like the movie Avatar just happened in Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Recently, the staff found and captured several clusters of rare luminous mushrooms in the garden.

These mushrooms acted normal in the color of milky white during the day, but glowed with green fluorescence at night.
