My son found glowing wood while camping and I researched and found the following answer:
Glowing wood is caused by the growth of luminous fungi. In some cases, the film covering the wood may be invisible in the light, but will appear as a dim steady glow in the dark.
There are several luminescent fungi. Some luminous genera are Armillaria (apparently an extremely destructive fungus for trees), Omphalotus, Tricholomopsis, and Clitocybe,all in the family Tricholomataceae, and there are certainly more...
The general common name for glowing wood, for example, is foxfire. For the particular mushrooms:
Clitocybe : "Poisonous Clitocybe"
Omphalotus : "Jack O'Lantern"
Armillariella : "Honey Mushroom"

I too have come across wood that glows. I live in Everett, Washington. Six years ago I had a large maple tree cut down in my back yard. Last summer I noticed that the stump had become rotten, to the point that some of the wood had become very soft. Some of it was even mushy. I took an axe and chopped out most of the stump and pilled the pieces off to the side. Later that night, just after dusk, I went out for the last smoke of the day. I walked over to the stump and noticed that it and the pieces were glowing. I noticed that the part of the wood that was glowing was the inside previously unexposed wood until I had chopped it up. I left it undisturbed and took a look at the wood the next night and it was no longer glowing. I had never even heard of candlewood so I was dumbfounded as to why wood would glow. I thought to myself it's got to be some kind of fungus. It's nice to know that I correctly guessed what it was. And that I'm not crazy for seeing glowing wood.

Yes he's real, he has an rare genetic defect which affected his defense-system. An virus which normally gives wraths was able to produce some sort of material which caused the "wood" to grow.

Ember is a small part of glowing wood, which is still burning. If it is burning for a while it is a piece of coal. It is found near a campside fire, that is still glowing.
No it is caused by rapid oxidation.
By rubbing stones . 2nd Answer: Actually . . . early people and even today, some isolated people found burning pieces of wood after lightning struck the ground. The kept the glowing wood in a container that would insulate the glowing wood, and keep heat in. At a new campsite, say, they would use the glowing wood to start dry grass on fire, then use that as the base for a new campfire. Whenever they moved on, or simply went out hunting overnight, they would carry a few of the embers from their campfire with them. One of the very worst things a person could do was to let the embers (glowing wood) get cold and die out. So . . . early and later man did not usually have to make fire. They would simply find it and take a little bit of it along with them.
I have installed a new wood floor and the house now smells like rotted wood what is that caused by?
All wood which will burn can be cooked over, either in the flame or over glowing embers Edited by Manderz: Not all wood that burns is safe to cook on. For example Oleander is deadly to cook over, and Cedar will make you sick cooking over it.
well you could do the brightness like..... glowing with black light and glowing with out it.
An ember colour is a glowing hot coal, greatly heated wood, or other carbon-based material that remains after, or sometimes precede a fire.
yeah type in Fully laced glowing laces or glowing laces on amazon they also have glowing laces on chucksconnection
oxygen is what "feeds" fire... the higher the concentration of it the greater the effect
