Has anyone come across this bioluminescent wonder in the wild? Was not aware of fox fire until this weekend when we stumbled upon 'glow in the dark' forest floor during a late night wander in the woods.

Curious where its most likely found, if it can be propagated, or how common it is around here.

Cool stuff.

Interweb:

Foxfire, also called fairy fire and chimpanzee fire, is the bioluminescence created by some species of fungi present in decaying wood. The bluish-green glow is attributed to a luciferase, an oxidative enzyme, which emits light as it reacts with a luciferin. The phenomenon has been known since ancient times, with its source determined in 1823.
