During the rainy season in some parts of Japan in the forests begin to grow bioluminescent mushrooms. Because of their chemical reaction produces a special enzyme which emits light. So far, scientists have no explanation about the nature of the phenomenon. Most likely because mushrooms attract insects that carry fungal spores into the atmosphere. As the mushrooms grow in dense forests, the phenomenon is discovered only recently.
