Foxfire fungus, also known as bioluminescent fungi, refers to various species of fungi that emit a greenish light in dark environments. This phenomenon is caused by a biochemical reaction involving luciferin and luciferase, similar to the glow seen in fireflies. Commonly found in decaying wood and forest soils, foxfire is most often associated with species like Mycena chlorophos and Armillaria mellea. The glow is thought to attract insects, which help in spore dispersal.
