== == A great question. The mycellium of common mushrooms are bioluminescent and glow in the dark. These have been used for centuries. Settlers in the US used to pack them into glass jars and read books by the light. They called it foxfire. Although most people don't want to go Into the Woods at night, there are wonderful things to discover when you turn off the flashlight!

What are some old paints that are no longer around?

Radium paint is no longer around. It was used to make glow-in-the-dark watch dials, and it was radioactive. They still make glow-in-the-dark watch dials, but the paint on them contains phosphorescent compounds that store energy from light and gradually release it. Lead-based paint is also largely nonexistent today.
