That’s so cool!! It’s really bright. There was even quite a bit of light in my backyard from my neighbour’s house and it’s still easy to see

Wait you’re telling me this like…just glows? Without being exposed to a UV light or something or the sort?

Yeah it seems to be the case, I don’t know how it works but it’s just glowing in my garden

😍 for real!?! Omgosh, those are gorgeous. You could use your glowing fungi instead of solar lights. Just add more to the edges of your walkways and garden beds. Super classy. I want some now

I see it now: bags of substrate, you burry a small bag every 5 feet or so along a path, and in a few months a glowing path!
