The Science of Glowing Mushrooms

A big thanks to all current and future patrons who are helping fund this science communication outreach via Patreon: http://bit.ly/2Sfmkph

One of the coolest things in nature are organisms that glow in the dark. The ability by living organisms to produce light is called bioluminescence and is the result of a chemical reaction. No need to explain more; just watch the video.

This video is a part of a four-part series called "Tropical Molecules" that we shot in collaboration with Molecular Frontiers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Click the link at the end to view the second "Tropical Molecules" video - The Power of the Mantis Shrimp!
