Deep In The Forests Of North Carolina, There’s A Magical Fungus That Glows In The Dark
North Carolina’s many forests and preserves make it a seamless effort to be in awe of nature and all that we encounter when exploring the deepest recesses of the Tar Heel State on foot. And while that’s a task that’s best enjoyed during the daylight hours, there’s a hidden secret to discover along those same paths after dark.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate







Others believe the light is a natural attempt to attract insects and other grazers so they'll spread the fungi spores.
If you’ve ever explored a campground or a trail after dark, have you encountered any glow-in-the-dark fungus? We’d love to know!
