Might not be the first place you think of visiting alone at night, but old church graveyards are home to many biofluorescent lichens, and other glowing characters.

A little more Lichen love from the US.

Swipe right to see a before and after comparison of white light and UV light.

Many species of lichen use chemical defences to protect them from excess UV radiation, in many cases leading to fantastic fluorescence.

Biofluorescent lichens at the coast, transforming a scene of white and grey into an explosion of colour. This has got to be one of the most vibrant and saturated sights I've ever seen in the natural world.

Just Magic!

If you find yourself at the coast near some lichen encrusted rocks it's always worth shining a UV torch on them, you never know what you might find......

Apologies for the wind noise, it was going a good 40mph, posting anyway because it's just too special not too. 😁

The magic of Spaghnum moss under UV light. A real biofluorescent superstar, you can find all kinds of glowing colours in spaghnum mosses.

Natural sponges and ecosystem builders, Spaghnum moss is a highly underrated and underappreciated plant.

A slime mould that glows!

Slime mould's are incredible little organisms. Despite having no brain, they are capable of displaying intelligence, memory, and learning.

They are incredibly effective at finding the most efficient route between food sources, a skill that has been utilised by humans to help design more efficient transport networks.

Just one of the many biofluorescent lifeforms found hiding amongst the lead litter in forests around the world.

All around the UK are trees that light up in a kaleidoscope of colours under UV light.

Every year the runs a tree of the year competition here in the UK. So far the winner has always been based on reflected light, maybe this year we should consider fluorescence.

One of the most special fluorescent characters found on trees in Britain is the Globe Ball Lichen (Sphaerophorus globosus) that radiates blue.

This little lichen can be found all along the West coast of the UK, especially in Scotland's rainforests where you can find it lighting up entire trees bright blue.

One of the greatest joys of leading guided biofluorescent night walks is getting to see people’s faces light up in awe and wonder the first time they see this hidden world of magic revealed. Keeping that fresh feel to even the most common of biofluorescent sights. After too much habituation, there is a real risk of forgetting just how special blue grass really is.

Biofluorescence in Scotland's Rainforests turns up scenes that look like they belong in the forests of Pandora in the Avatar movies.

Our very own Rainbow Forests right here in Great Britain. Explosions of colour that rival the beauty of coral reefs or tropical rainforests around the world.

All you need is the right type of UV light and you can transform a green wall into a multi-coloured masterpiece.
