Foxfire

Foire is a natural phenomenon where certain types of wood, especially dead or decaying wood, emit a faint, blue or greenish glow in dark environments. This glow results from bioluminescent fungi or chemical reactions involving organic compounds within the wood. It is most commonly observed in forested areas, particularly in rotting logs or stumps. The bioluminescence serves potentially as a defense mechanism or to attract insects that help decompose the wood. While visually striking and scientifically intriguing, foxfire is a harmless natural light and showcases the fascinating ways life interacts with its environment.
