Still Waters Posted January 16, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The forest floor is barely visible in the low light conditions when it suddenly bursts into life, becoming a neon green blanket of light. The source of this eerie light is a bioluminescent fungus, known only by the name given to it by locals: "chimpanzee fire". Filmmaker Verity White was able to catch this phenomenon on camera for the Congo episode of the BBC/Discovery series Africa using long-exposure time-lapse photography techniques. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/21011428 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
